Other Details
Learning Needs
Several studies show that yoga, meditation, and art calm the nervous system. I will support the learning needs with positive feedback, and consistency.
Parental Guidance
I will share my screen at the beginning of the lesson and use a short "You Tube" meditation link as a tool to get the creative juices flowing. Feel free to check them out ahead of time. I avoid any non appropriate subjects.
I prioritize ensuring that all content and materials presented are age-appropriate and suitable for young learners, meticulously reviewing and screening videos to avoid any content that may be deemed inappropriate.
