Calming Regulation For Kids
Description:
This track helps your child calm down and regulate. With gentle background music, it starts with slow, steady breathing, then guides them to notice what they’re feeling in their body. It finishes with a simple squeeze-and-release muscle exercise to soften tension.
Your child will feel more settled, and they’ll learn practical tools they can use anytime, during the track and after it ends.
Goal:
To provide your child with an accessible guided meditation that regulates and educates.
Summary:
Slow sighing nose breath.
What can you feel in this moment?
What can you hear in this moment?
Squeeze and relax each muscle in your body.
Progression:
Have a conversation with your child about how to regulate - discuss with them what you have noticed helps them and ask what they internally have noticed helping them.
When they do get overwhelmed, play this track and do it together - this will both act as a stop break, calming intervention, and help give them the skills necessary for self awareness and regulation in life.
