Ideas for Families to support wellbeing

There are many benefits for children (and adults) when they use relaxation techniques such as breathing exercises, mindfulness and yoga, here are a few:

  • Reduces stress and anxiety

  • Helps to be calm

  • Sharpens the ability to focus and learn

  • Slows the heart rate

  • Lowers blood pressure

  • Helps to control emotions

  • Helps with sleep

These skills are really important at the moment but they are life skills that we should all be able to use. Choose one of these a week and practice everyday. These are great for parents and carers too!
