Started at a new school on Thursday and had some fantastic feedback from a parent of a girl in on one of my sessions, “Can I thank you for adding ****** to the Relax Kids group. She has been really emotional all week, and has struggled to explain why. She has talked about being worried about being fat, ugly, bad at writing, not liked at school, the environment, cruelty to animals, the list goes on.
Whatever it is the Relax Kids helped, she came in yesterday beaming, and didn't stop talking about what they had done.
I found her meditating 🧘‍♀️ in her room this morning.
So thank you and please can you thank the teacher who takes the group.”

Absolutely buzzing!!

It's now easier to send Relax Kids Low Fell with Roger a message.

Well, after a summer which has brought us baby number 2 and all that comes with it, it is time to start getting back to the day job!

Lots of new groups today Greenland Community Primary School today’s focus was determination.

Start small dream big - draw increasing size circles on your partners back
Keep moving forwards - arrows on back showing purpose
Hearts - I believe in myself

Good luck to all those independent businesses/sole traders who have been able to reopen today I hope you make as much hay as possible while the sun shines.

It's been a tough year but you are absolutely nails.

Happy (almost) Easter!
Thank you to everyone who has joined, liked, shared and attended (in person or virtually) any of my sessions since I started this journey in September!

The support has been massive and it’s very much appreciated. We are living through really strange times which have had huge effects on all our lives. Hopefully the work I am doing is helping to support and improve the mental health of children (and parents) in our region.

Thanks, now let’s eat loads of chocolate!

Happy International women’s day to all those powerful and inspirational woman out there.

I am so glad to have all these amazing women in Connie’s life. Such strength. 💪🏼

Couldn’t agree more! Children can catch up on their learning, schemes of work can be changed but these precious years of playing with friends; finding out who they are are short enough already without Covid taking a big slice of it.

Call for 'summer of play' to help English pupils recover from Covid-19 stress Exclusive: children should be having fun with friends instead of extra lessons, say experts

These are some pictures I was sent after one of my school sessions. Now I'm thinking of diversifying into Relax Dogs... could be a gap in the market! or should I say a 'yap' in the market. No, I shouldn't have.

Thanks to the parents who joined tonight for my new Wellness Wednesday it’s always great to get some positive feedback about the session and how the children found it. This parent was a bit worried about her son being too charged with energy before bedtime but she was delighted by the end of the session and he was asleep!
To book for next Wellness Wednesday for just £3 go to www.justrelax.as.me

I have limited spaces left for my family Wellness Wednesday sessions left for this evening 17:45-18:45. They are a great way to wind down before bedtime for children of Primary school age. It’s £3 to book using www.justrelax.as.me. The sessions take place over zoom and are spotlighted by the host so that your privacy is ensured. I have full liability insurance and enhanced DBS clearance as well as recent Child Protection training.

Tonight is the first in a sequence of sessions called Genius Genie where we unlock and celebrate the talents your children have and learn about how our brains work to make us who we are.

If you would like any more information please check my page or DM me and I’d be happy to take you through what the sessions will entail.

Cheers,

Roger

Amazing opportunity to join up with RVI Tiny Lives charity to deliver sessions to parents and their children who have little brothers and sisters on Ward 35 which is for premature babies. Unfortunately, most of them won’t have seen the latest addition to their family due to Covid and the nature of their arrival. This can leave them feeling left out of what should be such a special time for the family, hopefully the sessions will help lift them and give space to share how they feel about it with some other families in a similar situation.

Brilliant again from All on the Board promoting Children's Mental Health Week!

Fantastic that mental health is being given a profile. Hopefully it’s a real change that the government are trying to make!

Finally, the nation has an Ambassador for Mental Health, Dr Alex George.

What a great way to celebrate Children’s Mental Health Week.

Yesterday I hosted a Relax Kids session for four schools in the Stanley Learning Partnership to mark Children's Mental Health Week.

It was a great way to bring children from across Stanley together whether they have been learning from school or at home with parents and carers. Children's mental health is so important at the minute and hopefully those children and parents involved picked up some strategies for helping their family cope in moments of crisis be them big or small.

Thanks to Louise at the SLP for engaging schools and doing a lot of work behind the scenes and of course the management, staff, children and parents for bringing their enthusiasm to the session. It was brilliant to be involved!

If you would like more information about how Relax Kids could help you and your children send me a message or email me at [email protected].

To book one of my twilight 17:45-18:30 Zoom sessions go to www.justrelax.as.me. They run on a Wednesday or Thursday each week and cost just £3 per household. They are a great way to wind down after a busy day and the perfect antidote to the dreaded 'witching hour' which can be a challenging time for most of us!

Hi, I’ve had some amazing responses to my Thursday night twilight where parents and their children can join in for a Just Relax Online. I am starting a new one on Wednesday evening 17:45 - 18:30. Starting from February 10th they are designed to help promote good mental health and well-being as well as promoting self-confidence.

It’s a perfect way to unwind before bedtime, I know the witching hour can be a challenge especially during lockdown. It’s £3 per household so siblings are free!! It is suitable for children of primary school ages.

The sessions will run for 6 weeks. Try one and see what you think. Follow the link below to get involved. If you have any questions check out my videos or send me a DM.

Thanks,

Roger

Got my first online EYFS group session this morning with children from Greenland Community Primary School, the program is called Little Stars, luckily I had my own little star to help me prepare (no fingers were lost during this activity!)

Thanks to all the parents and children who booked on to our Thursday twilight session via Zoom. Great to meet new parents and their children and It was mint to see some familiar faces from me face-to-face sessions and some old friends too!

I’ve learned a lot this week about doing online sessions, yes you lose the true face-to-face element of a class but there’s a definitely something special in the children being in their own safe space with a parent or carer. It can remove some of the nervousness or feeling of self-consciousness which might stop them taking part in a regular session.

I’m fully booked next Thursday 21st but there are a few spaces on 28th and the following weeks. Follow the link, try something new. You might like it!

Cheers,

Roger

Relax Kids Low Fell with Roger updated their website address.

Well, first online session complete with South Stanley Juniors. I was very nervous to begin with but once we got started it was great! Kids managed really well with help form their amazing teachers.

I would like to run some twilight 'Just Relax' sessions for parents and their children on a Thursday evening for 45-minutes to an hour starting at around 5:45-6pm. Hopefully, perfect timing for a before bed wind-down. How many people would be interested in joining? I would have 10 spaces at £3 per session.

Thanks for any feedback or questions you might have about Relax Kids and what the sessions would entail.

Saturday was my last community session before half term. We mixed it up by adding some art and craft to our session, tricky with social distancing but the kids did a belting job!

It has been great having my first community group in Low Fell; I've learned so much and hopefully the children have as well. The children have been absolutely fantastic since the start so a huge thank you to them. I'm hugely grateful for the encouraging feedback I've had from parents who have been so supportive. Cheers!

Like many, I'm waiting to see what the next week or so brings. There will likely announcements of changes to the regional rules but who knows eh!? I'll look into zoom sessions using the knowledge of some other coaches and try and stay as active as I can without being a spammy Pammy...

Please keep supporting children's mental health at this time, as well as being good to yourself. The autumn and winter can be long and dark time in normal circumstances so stay active, get out the house every day if you can (me and a couple of the lads have even started walking the dog of an evening!), speak to your neighbour, facetime a friend you haven't spoken to in ages, do something to be kind.

We, the people, are all in this together.

2 great sessions this morning, the first was a 1:1 with Josie (and her Mam), we were looking at building positive self-image and having good energy. It was my first 1:1 session but the Chill Skills stuff really helped me focus.
Session 2 was with my 6-7s our theme was robots and building confidence in ourselves ending with visualizing what confidence looks like when we see it in others and ourselves. Super start to the weekend. Thanks 😊 💜
