Teach what you preach !!

Im actually making myself have a mindful moment outside. Im currently planning 6 weeks of Therapeutic Play for a child with ADHD and I am putting in plenty of brain and movement breaks and then thought, thats what I need.

My husband always moans that I don’t take enough breaks or suggests I need a change of scenery when studying so Im actually listening today 😂

A 7 year old can generally only concentrate for 14-20 minutes and if a chiod has adhd, it’s significantly lower and thats where breaks come in so you will find that my sessions have plenty of realistic expectations

Affirmations and NeuroScience

We know that positive affirmations are important but did you know that they can rewire a childs brain ?

They help to replace negative thought patterns with positive ones. When we keep repeating positive statements, the brain’s reward centre strengthens neural pathways associated with self-belief.

Some children might like words, posters etc but some children who like things more private, might prefer a little box that can be added to and keep reminding themselves of positive words about them.

ZONES Of REGULATION
Whilst coming to the end of my studies, Im slowly adding to my growing play tool kit.

Thank you to for my fabulous zones of regulation landyard.

There is substantial evidence that many children—especially younger ones—struggle to identify, understand, and express their emotions. This is a key reason why emotional education frameworks like the Zones of Regulation are valuable.

The Zones of Regulation helps children by:
• Naming their feelings
• Understanding what causes those feelings
• Therapeutic Play Coaching can help children learn what to do to feel better or stay focused

It’s especially helpful for children with:
• Autism
• ADHD
• Sensory processing challenges
• Anxiety

Im looking forward to adding this new service to Bambinos & Me

Did you know that by practicing breathing techniques we can heal the body ?

Deep breathing slows the heart rate and activates the vagus nerve, which calms the amygdala (the brain’s fear center).

Breathing Techniques supports neuroplasticity (re-wiring of the brain) which is required after a trauma.

Improves Focus

Regulates emotions and enhances emotional awareness

Improves sleep and brain recovery

Reduces cortisol and stress

Im getting near to the end of my training and looking forward to supporting your child with Therapeutic Play and Mindfulness, Yoga and breathing techniques through fun and games.

SKITTLE EMOTION ACTIVITY

Today we used skittles to talk about our emotions. We then talked about what situation makes us feel that emotion and what we can do to support ourselves.

It’s important to make sure children can name emotions but also what can they do for themselves when they have these feelings. A great activity for older children and teens

HOW ARE FIDGET TOOLS USED IN THERAPEUTIC PLAY ?

The word tool is used because they have so many benefits and uses for them.

During a session, children might use them to support with focus and concentration. When we squeeze, fiddle, click or push repeatedly, this motion helps some children concentrate more.

Stress, anxiety and frustration can be reduced via the repeated motion and gives a child a way of self soothing their nervous system.

It can be a case of trying afew until you find one that helps i.e ones with different textures can support children with sensory processing needs.

For a child needing to develop hand strength or fine motor skills, we can use stress balls or cubes alongside our play activities.

Just afew examples of the benefits of these tools which can benefit ALL children, in and out of school.

SIMPLE RELAXATION ACTIVITY

When looking at Therapeutic Play, it can be the simplest of things that benefit children.

After school there are so many activities out but colouring is used every day.

Some children chat others take a few minutes to focus but calm down after a day at school.

When the subject is something they are interested in, introduces new activities or brings on conversation then the benefits extend even further.

Colouring;
🌟 Reduces stress and anxiety.

🌟 Aids concentration and focus.

🌟 Fosters creativity

🌟Improves emotional wellbeing by promoting mindfulness

🌟 Improves fine motor skills

🌟 Boosts self esteem

🌟 Supports emotional expression.

Its the perfect activity that can go where ever you go and makes conversation more relaxed. We can adapt colouring to meet individual needs too. I bet you even find it relaxing too !
