The PDST Primary Health and Wellbeing Team have developed a new resource which aims to support the emotional wellbeing of children.
In times of crisis and change, feelings and emotions can be heightened, particularly for children. The sanctuary of the classroom allows children to explore these feelings and to develop coping skills and self-regulation strategies. 'Breathe' invites teachers to share some of the techniques that they would normally explore in SPHE class, with children in their own homes.
The beautiful new ‘Breathe’ resource features a range of calming breathing techniques and guided visualisations that the child can use to bring about a sense of peace and comfort in any situation. The resource, which is suitable for children (and adults!) of all ages and class levels, is accompanied by audio recordings of the guided visualisations in both English and Irish. There are currently 25 audio clips on our website and more will be added over time.
The resource is attached below and is available to access and download from https://www.pdst.ie/primary/healthwellbeing/relaxationandself-regulationtools
