Mindfulness

Mindfulness techniques include, recognizing and regulating big emotions, reducing anxiety and improving sleep.

We have been using deep breathing, mindful movements and visualisation techniques during our nursery day, you may find these useful to do at home.

​

In nursery we use the 3 point scale to allow children to share their feelings, this follows through primary where they move on to the 5 point scale.

We also use the language: 

• Safe Hands

• Safe Feet

• Kind Words

This supports children with their behavior's, friendships and conflict resolution strategies.

If you would like some more information please speak to a member of staff.
