We play fun games to increase focus and self-control AND learn how to relax our bodies and brains in ways that are easy and enjoyable, in an alternating, purposeful fashion! Great for ADHD and/or emotional/regulation challenges.

Class experience

This class is taught in English.
Students will improve their impulse control and gain relaxation techniques for overall increased emotional regulation and executive functioning skills. 
I have been working with children with various diagnoses (ADHD, anxiety, etc) for over eight years, teaching them executive function and relaxation strategies in a way that they enjoy. 
 3 files available upon enrollment
Daily: Learners will need good space behind them to move safely. If possible, setting up the computer in a way so that I can see them head to toe (as much as possible -- I know this is challenging). Sometimes sitting on the floor works well. GARAGE BAND: Students will need an instrument or anything that creates sound (could be a pot and a spoon to use as a drum). BELLY BREATHING: Students will need a small stuffed animal or a soft object that can rest on their belly. PEN'S UP!: Your child will need something to color with and a sheet or two of blank paper. COLORING MANDALAS: Learners will need a mandala of their choice from the provided file. If you don't have access to a printer, another piece of blank paper is okay, too. Coloring materials will be needed as well, please. TO INFINITY AND BEYOND! The classroom file with this activity can be printed and your learner may like to use a writing utensil with this as well. If you don't have access to a printer, please take a look at the file and draw the simple shapes for your learner to use before class. MINDFUL MUNCHIES: Your learner will need a small snack and any kind of drink (water is fine). I suggest not giving this to your child until the last part of class when we will do this activity as they will likely eat it beforehand. After your child's last class, I will be providing handouts of the relaxation techniques that we used in each class. Students are encouraged to practice these on their own when they're feeling calm, making it easier for them to remember how to use them when needed. The more practiced the brain is, the better!
