🌟 New Video for Kids! 🌟

Teaching children how to calm their bodies and minds can make a big difference when they’re feeling mad, worried, or stressed. In this video by Resident in Counseling, Selena Nguyen, kids will practice a fun exercise called Squeeze and Relax 🧃🦶🤸—a playful way to learn progressive muscle relaxation (PMR).

Through silly and creative prompts (like squeezing oranges, digging toes in the sand, and scrunching their noses), children can discover how good it feels to release tension and relax. 💆‍♂️💆‍♀️

✨ This is a great tool for parents, teachers, and counselors to share with kids who need a calming break.
