Kid Yoga
Nov 13, 2020
Dear Parent,
One of the best ways to help your child learn self-regulation is to get her involved in meditative practices. It’s also one of the best ways to manage your own regulation.
Okay, I see opportunity for a win-win family activity. Try Yoga. I know you don't have time for it. If you have five-minutes to check your email, you have five-minutes to do a little regulating yoga. You might even have yoga pants.
Buy, or borrow from a friend, a Yoga DVD (there are a zillion kid yoga books on the market), or simply just google "yoga for children" and practice for five minutes with the kids. Have fun. Taking anything too seriously ruins the relaxation so make room for doing it all wrong and for rambunctious kid behavior. That's what makes this so regulating.
Silliness, laughter, exercise, meditation, and family time: kid yoga has it all.
Love matters,
Ce
