Happy Children's Mental Health Awareness Week 💛

Love this reminder from ! Being yourself is a total superpower, and considering the limited amount of time we have on this big green marble, we deserve to spend as much of it being authentically ourselves as possible! 🥰

Bonnie is Relax Kids and Forest School trained and is running some magical sessions at Shining Cliff hostel this summer. Check out the events page at All About The Calm for more details 😊🌲🧘🧘🏼‍♀️.

For schools near Shirland, Derbyshire these school taster sessions look like a great idea!! Don't hesitate to get in touch 🌟🌈

Thanks to the TRC and Betsy de Thierry's wonderful and inspiring trauma course, we always work in a trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive way at Relax Kids Derby! Watch this little video to understand the importance of co-regulation to help children manage their big emotions and challening behaviours. All of our classes are focused on teaching co-regulation skills like deep breathing, massage, yoga stretches, moving our bodies, playing together and guided visualisations to encourage a deep relaxation. If you're curious, you're always more than welcome to join us for a Zoom taster session! 💜🌟🦋

How can you help us? How can you help us?A guide to co-regulation leading to self-regulation as explained by kids.

💜 Happy Mental Health Awareness Week 💜

We love the theme of ‚express yourself‘ this year - so many different ways to do just that, be it verbally, through our bodies, through art or whatever other way we might be able to think of! We got to know and befriend our sadness monster this evening and explored lots of different ways of expressing our sadness, using the Relax Kids Seven Steps of Move, Play, Breathe, Stretch, Feel, Believe & Relax and even cresting a drawing of our individual sadness monsters! It was beautiful and I love running these sessions more than I can put into words! I never thought they would work so well via Zoom and I am incredibly grateful that I was proven wrong. Sometimes we might be expressing ourselves even more that way than we used to in our regular face to face classes, simply because expressing our thoughts, ideas, beliefs is one of the main ways in which we can virtually interact and connect?! 🥰

This week we are supporting Children's Mental Health Week, with the theme of 'Express Yourself'. Download our free 'Express Yourself Pack' here: https://www.relaxkids.com/express

💜 Wishing you all the best for 2021 and hope that despite the circumstances you are all as well, healthy and safe as possible. As promised regular Relax Kids Zoom classes will finally resume next Monday 11/01. I’ll be offering a six week block in which we get to meet, explore and learn to tame our big monster emotions in a fun, imaginative and creative way. 💜

🐾The aim of these sessions is (in addition to generally learning and practising relaxation and stress management tools) to get to know our sadness, worry, anger and fear monsters. We’ll take time to befriend them and to gain a better understanding when they crop up and how they are actually trying their best to help and protect us! 🐾

It is possible to book the block of six sessions for £30 or to choose the drop-in pay as you go option for £6/session. Sending you all lots of love, strength and patience and looking forward to seeing you next week to hopefully brighten up the beginning of 2021 and the next lockdown a little bit! 🌟
