Empower your child with the tools that will help them develop small healthy habits, to summon the emotions needed, and to find focus to live with joy, happiness and positivity.
Breathing exercises- Teaching your child to start their morning with just 5 minutes of belly breathing is a powerful tool to ease stress and begin your day on a healthy note. Children as young as 3 can learn breathing techniques that allow them to feel a change in their bodies. Younger children can start off with one minute of silence, and set a positive intention for the day.
Introduction to Meditation/Visualization- The mind is a powerful healing tool. Guided imagery is a simple, powerful technique that can have many health-related physical and emotional benefits. It can help kids feel less nervous or upset, be less bothered by pain, or achieve a goal either athletic or academic. You can "create the state you want". Even very young children can begin to learn this skill by linking images in their minds with feelings and experiences.
Stretching and Introduction to Yoga practice- By stretching first thing in the morning, your child is improving their brain activity, decreasing body aches and pains, and increasing their energy level throughout the day. No matter how you say it, stretching the hip muscles cause a release and allows stored emotion to melt away. This is one of the wonders of yoga. Yoga is really effective because it's so tangible. Through yoga, kids start to realize that they are strong and then are able to take that strenght, confidence, acceptance, and compassion out into the world. Shavasana pose, Tadasana, and Tree pose are a few of the yoga moves introduced in this book.
Help guide your child develop their personal morning self care routine by filling out the writing prompt's at the end of the book. Sit together and discuss reasons your little one is grateful to wake up each morning and picking out ways to add movement to the morning.
