This SEL strategy helps us focus and relax and is great for your little ones.
First: Stand next to your desk with a tall spine. As you get started, place a hand on your chair to help you balance.
Then: Focus your gaze on a point in from of you. Choose a spot that is not moving such as a floor tile or desk leg.
Next: Stand on your tiptoes. Inhaling and staying on our tiptoes, bend your knees to lower yourself about 4 inches as you count to 4, keeping your bak tall and upright. Inhaling and staying on your tiptoes, lower yourself 4 more inches as you count to four. Exhaling and staying on your tiptoes, rise back to standing as you count to 4.
Last: Let’s hone our concentration skills and practice Tippy Toes Breath again together.
