Relax Kids - Yvonne - East Cork

Today we started our first Relax Kids Class for 2019. Confidence Bootcamp. What an amazing class. All about how unique each and every one of us are. The Confidence bootcamp is focusing on a different area each week. Being confident means believing in yourself, being comfortable with who you are. You know it is working when all 8 children are relaxed and asleep at the end of the class. Looking forward to the weeks ahead. See you Tuesday.

Thank you to all the amazing parents and children I have met this year - you are all so very special x Happy New Year looking forward to 2019

Week 4 of Elf Esteem Adventure this week was to teach the children about Resilience we made toys and tested them and some may not work which can be a bit disappointing but resilient elves bounce back though and rise to the challenge. The children warmed up to bouncy ball and Wooden Soldiers. We played remote control cars and learned some strong powerful stretches, enjoyed a relaxing massage in pairs, practiced deep breaths and passed the ball with positive words while repeating the affirmation "I am resilient", before enjoying a relaxing visualisation on determination.
Have a great week. See you all next Tuesday.

The aim of today's Chill Skills class was to gain a better understanding of visualization and each child created a vision board and to learn how mental imagery and visualization are powerful tools to enhance our mental health.

We started today's class with a mindful exercise of checking in with ourselves, just noticing the feelings that were present in our bodies and in our minds in that moment.

Following a quick warm-up, we played a game on how to use our imagination by closing our eyes and seeing an animal, feeling and hearing that animal and we had to guess what the animal was.
After some stretches, we did a massage on our temples while visualizing our favorite colour, using all our senses. Then we practiced some breathing by visualizing a golden thread through our body.

In the Believe step, we did a vision board to use and create the life we want. We finished with a nice relaxation at the beach.

Hope you all have a great week! See you next week. 🙂

Day 4 of our Advent Challenge is to write a gratitude list

Chills Skills Workshop CYS

This week I delivered a Chills Skills Workshop to TY students of Cobh Community College at Cobh Youth Services. We had an great time lots of fun, laughter and we all relaxed at the end. The staff and student did amazing.

What an incredible day! You know something is working when 13 out of 16 children in both magical adventures and chill skills are asleep during the relaxation in a class!
The community classes were full of fun and energy as always.
Meeting such fantastic bright brilliant children is so heartwarming. Exhausted but so worth it. I love my job. # #

This is a great explanation of how our brain works.
Knowledge is power. When children understand what’s happening in the brain 🧠 it can be the first step to having the power to make choices. Knowledge can be equally powerful to parents too. Knowing how the brain works means we can also understand how to respond when our children need our help.

Sometimes our brains 🧠 can become overwhelmed with feelings of fear 😧 , sadness 😢 or anger 😡, and when this happens, it’s confusing – especially to children 👶 . So giving children ways to make sense of what’s happening in their brain 🧠 is important. It’s also helpful for children to have a vocabulary for their emotional experiences that others can understand. Think of it like a foreign language; if the other people in your family speak that language too, then it’s easier to communicate with them.
So how do you start these conversations with your children, make it playful enough to keep them engaged, and simple enough for them to understand.

Here’s how ...... 🙌
