Watch this UTV clip of my fellow Relax Kids coach Sinead. She explains what we do and the difference we can make to your child.

We live in such a cortisol culture that we are desensitised to how much stress we are holding in our bodies, our thoughts, our relationships and our present-moment experience. There is often a tangible stress and urgency that is part of the fabric weaved into family life. Stress is the unwelcome visitor in your home. Parents get their kids up for school in the morning and it’s all go, go, go. Hurry everything and everyone along, everyone’s cortisol levels on the spike, everyone’s nervous system up-regulated. Being hectic is often a socially acceptable form of anxiety, just as being super busy and productive is commonly a sign of overwhelm. Slowing down and creating wee moments of stillness in the morning can make all the difference in the world. Keep the screens and radios out of the morning routine: no news, no cartoons, no social media. Keeping sugary cereals out of the morning routine would also help a lot. Even though you have a ton of things to do with a tight timeline, look for the moments where you can breathe…you can always slow your breath, stand in stillness and lovingly gaze at your kid. Take them in and let them feel your love. A bit of nervous-system repair to set everyone up well for the day doesn’t take much to create. Your kids will thank you and they’ll feel so much better heading off to school. 😊😊😊
