Day 4 of our countdown to Christmas with some sensory calm: Jumping on a Trampoline
Today’s tip is extra special, we’ve got some of our little helpers demonstrating this one! 🎄🤸♂️💫
Jumping on a trampoline is a fantastic way to help children regulate their bodies and emotions, especially during the excitement of December.
Here’s how trampolining can support sensory calm:
✨ Provides strong proprioceptive input
– Helps the body understand where it is in space
– Promotes grounding and a sense of stability
✨ Releases built-up energy
– Allows children to move freely and burn off excess excitement
– Ideal for those who struggle to sit still during busy festive days
✨ Supports emotional regulation
– Rhythmic movement can help reduce stress and tension
– Encourages a naturally calming “reset”
✨ Boosts mood and focus
– Movement increases feel-good chemicals in the brain
– Helps children return to activities feeling more settled
✨ Offers a structured movement break
– Prevents overwhelm by giving the body the input it needs
– Can be done indoors or outdoors depending on your setup
Jumping is fun, regulating, and accessible — no wonder our little helpers loved showing this one!
