This Summer has been such a gift!

Through Wellness + Mindfulness Program for Kids in Omaha we gathered weekly for classes at local parks and at The Riverfront!

We practiced bilingual (English + Spanish) movement, games, and creative activities that supported children’s regulation and overall wellness.

We are grateful to each of our amazing students who showed up with curiosity and heart, and to the parents who trusted us and supported us.

Self-regulation through movement gives children tools they can carry into everyday life.

Here’s how it helps:

🌿 Builds body awareness —
kids learn to notice how their body feels and what it needs.

🌿 Strengthens the mind–body connection —
movement helps release stress and return to balance.

🌿Encourages confidence & independence —
children begin to recognize they have the power to regulate their own emotions.

At Fern Foundation, we guide kids through playful yoga and mindfulness practices so regulation feels natural and fun.

——

La autorregulación a través del movimiento les da a los niños herramientas que pueden llevar a su vida diaria.

Así es como ayuda:

🌿Desarrolla la conciencia corporal —
los niños aprenden a notar cómo se siente su cuerpo y qué necesita.

🌿 Fortalece la conexión mente–cuerpo —
el movimiento ayuda a liberar el estrés y volver al equilibrio.

🌿 Fomenta la confianza e independencia — los niños comienzan a reconocer que tienen el poder de regular sus propias emociones.

En Fern Foundation, guiamos a los niños a través de prácticas divertidas de yoga y mindfulness para que la regulación se sienta natural y divertida.

Did you know that the vestibular sense, which helps us understand movement through balance and spatial orientation, is a key player in helping children regulate their emotions?

When kids engage in balancing movements like holing a tree yoga pose, swinging, spinning gently, or walking on a balance beam, they’re not only having fun, they’re actually helping their nervous system stay calm and focused.

This kind of movement supports:

✨ Better impulse control
✨ Improved attention and focus
✨ Enhanced coordination and body awareness
✨ Stronger emotional regulation and stress relief

In our Fern Foundation classes, we include simple balance games and activities designed to support this vital sense.

These playful movements help kids develop self-regulation skills that carry over into everyday life.

Encourage your child to explore safe balancing activities at home or outdoors! It’s a wonderful way to nurture their nervous system and build confidence.

Stay tuned for more tips on supporting your child’s nervous system and well-being.

--------------------------------------
¿Sabías que el sentido vestibular, que nos ayuda a entender el movimiento a través del equilibrio y la orientación espacial, es fundamental para que los niños regulen sus emociones?

Cuando los niños realizan movimientos de equilibrio como mantener la postura del árbol en yoga, columpiarse, girar suavemente o caminar sobre una barra de equilibrio, no solo se están divirtiendo, sino que también están ayudando a su sistema nervioso a mantenerse tranquilo y enfocado.

Este tipo de movimiento favorece:

✨ Mejor control de los impulsos
✨ Mayor atención y concentración
✨ Mejor coordinación y conciencia corporal
✨ Regulación emocional más fuerte y alivio del estrés

En nuestras clases de Fern Foundation incluimos juegos y actividades simples de equilibrio diseñados para apoyar este sentido vital.

Estos movimientos lúdicos ayudan a los niños a desarrollar habilidades de autorregulación que aplican en su vida diaria.
