There are lots of emotions that make our bodies feel similar and make us act similar to anger - frustrated, annoyed, anxious, stressed to name a few.
There are also many ways to deal with these emotions - taking a moment for breathing, exercising, relaxing, snacking and doing anything that makes you happy.

We have made stress balls to help us manage the anger we sometimes feel.

Our emotions are shown through different facial expressions… we’ve created lots!

Making mistakes is ok!!

We had fun reading the story ‘Beautiful OOPS!’ and used our imaginations to create something beautiful from a blob. It’s ok to make a mistake and mistakes can often be fixed, and help us learn!
Often our meerkats will pop up if we make mistakes and make us feel angry, frustrated or annoyed. But taking a deep breath and being creative we can calm our meerkat and create something new…

🎄Christmas BREATHE session🎄

Dare I mention the C word?!
Christmas is an amazing and exciting time of year for children (and us), but for many it’s actually really overwhelming and a difficult time to regulate their emotions.

For most of December routines change, there’s talk of Santa, presents, sweets, pantos, parties, party clothes that cause sensory issues to go into overdrive, fun days out, busy social gatherings, and everywhere you look it’s like Buddy the elf has sprinkled his Christmas cheer… school, shops, clubs, at home…! 🎄🎁🎅🏼

Maybe that’s just my house… but I’m sure many others can relate!

My Christmas BREATHE session will discuss the feeling of being overwhelmed and what’s happening in our brains to cause this. Although still Christmas themed, rather than being loud, busy and full of glitter, it will be an hour of calm and mindfulness.
We’ll breathe, relax, do yoga and some mindful crafts.

Sign up now for this one off session for just £10.

Monday 15th December 5.15-6.15, St Josephs church hall, Peebles.

Todays BREATHE session was all about big emotions and sharing ideas of how we can self-regulate. Our fireworks are our big emotions firing up like our meerkat. Our crackling flames share self-regulation tools we find helpful. 🔥🎆🎇

🍃BREATHE - Helping Children Feel Happier, Calmer & More Confident🍃

After 20 years as a primary teacher, I’ve worked with children who find school and life tough — and I’ve always loved helping them overcome challenges.

As both a teacher and mum of two very different kids (one whom has autism and is quiet and worries, one outgoing and confident), I see first-hand how unique every child is. Every child, no matter their personality or needs, experiences big emotions. This helps me understand, support, and never judge.

Combining my personal experiences and emotional literacy training, my BREATHE sessions help children and families understand feelings, manage emotions, and build confidence.

✨ My passion is making learning and life easier, calmer, and more fun for children.

✨ All feelings are OK — we just need the tools to manage them.

🌿Let’s help your child feel happier and ready to thrive. 🌿

Totally agree and our worries shouldn’t be put on our children, let them be kids. But we also need them to experience some storms to be able to build resilience, or what will they do when we’re not there to protect them?

Our children need us to shield them from life’s storms, offering them a sense of security. While we face challenges, it’s crucial to keep their world safe and full of joy. Let’s protect their innocence while they navigate the world. How do you offer protection to your children emotionally? ☔💖

Week 1 of new block. Lovely to see some new and returning faces!
Today we were learning about meerkat moments and how breathing can help to bring our meerkat back down. We made breathing ghosts to use as tools to help 👻👻
