Calm Down Strategies

We had an amazing time at crew! 

Today we learned about different calm down strategies we can use when we get upset. These are the ones we talked about:

Deep breathing 

Counting up or down

Positive Self-Talk 

Calming Thoughts - “Happy Place” 

Our crew is practicing these strategies not only when we are feeling mad, sad or overwhelmed, but throughout our day.  Each day after lunch recess, we calm down with PEACE OUT.  These are guided relaxation for kids.

I hope you continue to make relaxation and mindfulness a practice at home too!
