Learning calm down techniques is a useful tool no matter your age. Check out these five videos to learn different ways to calm the mind:

 

The Mind Jar Exercise by FableFy

This video shares an analogy for children to understand how thoughts can take over your mind, and reminds them to breathe “till the glitter settles” so you can think more clearly.

 

Take 5 Breathing by Christie: Childhood101

This is a very simple exercise to help children take slow deep breaths.

 

Progressive Muscle Relaxation by TherapYi

This is a longer relaxation technique that helps children imagine different scenarios and tense/relax muscles all throughout their body.

 

“Bring it Down” Visualization by GoNoodle

This is a simple visualisation activity which will be enjoyable for visual children. It can be adapted to your child’s interests.

 

Rubbing Hands technique by Cassie Stephens

This exercise is being shared for teachers to use in order to calm down groups of children, but could also be used with an individual child.

Which technique did you like the most? Which might your children enjoy the most?

    These are such helpful ideas. Thank you! We have found that in our home teaching our kids to play music by ear and thus providing a life long companion in music is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children. So my husband created these easy lesson and quizzes for our tweens and teenagers and parents alike! I hope it is of help to you and your readers. http://www.mnomusic.com/blog

    I love the “five breaths” technique by using fingers. It’s easy to remember and easy to use. My child uses it to concentrate when she is in a bad or anxious mood.
