Legs up the wall is one of our favorite rest positions! But some students can find it difficult to find stillness here.

Our Tip? Balance an object on the feet! Try heavier books for more input!

👶Early Childhood 👦
We are loving our Move Mindfully Early Childhood Workshop! Here is what people are saying... 🗣
•
•
•
“The techniques are easy to use and of great value to me in my child care setting and the kids respond well to it.”
.
.
“I really love using everything I have learned with Move Mindfully. [It] has really calmed my children in my care.”
.
.
“The children look forward to our breathing exercises and yoga. It has been a great tool to use in my child care.”
.
.
And the data:
Two months after the training, 95% of providers used the techniques each week and 35% of those were using the techniques daily. Providers were most frequently using calming breaths (94%), yoga poses (89%), and the Hoberman sphere (89%) with children in their daycare. All providers reported that Move Mindfully® techniques were either helpful or slightly helpful in fostering children’s self-regulation, smooth transitions, de-escalation, and focus. Most providers (82%) reported Move Mindfully® was easy-to-use in the child care setting and the remaining 18% of providers considered the techniques somewhat easy-to-use. Most providers reported no barriers to using Move Mindfully®. The techniques require no special space, and no or low-cost equipment. •

❌Time Out ❌
.
.
Okay we have come a long way from wearing the dunce cap and sitting in the corner 😔But it can still be hard to get the safe place, take a break, refresh corner, be station... right. 🤔
.
.
What are the must have components?
.
.
✅Space to move (just long enough for a body’s length)
✅Sensory items (think- soft pillows)
✅Nature items (plants, rocks, or even photos)
✅Uplifting messaging to reinforce return .
.
It doesn’t need to be complicated. Too much can be sensory overload. Let your students help you create the space to foster ownership and community.

Self Care?!? Who has time for a bubble bath or money for a spa day! 😫
•
Self-care can feel like one more thing to do, or it can feel overly-indulgent, or it can feel inaccessible. Self compassion is different. 😌
•
•
Kristin Neff explains. “Self-compassion involves acting the same way towards yourself when you are having a difficult time, fail, or notice something you don’t like about yourself. Instead of just ignoring your pain with a “stiff upper lip” mentality, you stop to tell yourself “this is really difficult right now,” how can I comfort and care for myself in this moment?” 🤔
•
•
How can we take care of others if we don’t first take care of ourselves? We are less able to take care of others when we are depleted. Unmitigated stress can cause us to miss important cues about what students/youth are feeling, showing and telling us through their behavior and therefore lose important opportunities for connection and corregulation. 😔
•
•
We have used Kristin Neff’s research to give you three simple tips for self compassion. (Full info in our blog post) 🤗
•
•
1. Speak to yourself as you would a friend. 👭Imagine talking a friend through the challenges you face in this moment and gift yourself that same pep talk.
•
•
2. You are not alone ❤️Take a moment to picture someone you love very much and send them three wishes – May you be healthy, May you be happy, May you be peaceful.
Next, still breathing slowly, picture yourself and send yourself these same three wishes – May I be healthy, May I be happy, May I be peaceful.
Finally, breathing slowly, imagine extending these same three wishes to everyone you can imagine in the whole world – May they be healthy, May they be happy, May they be peaceful. •
•
3. Use your breathing and movement to change how you feel. 🧘‍♀️ Ease discomfort when you need to by reminding yourself that you can change how you feel at any time by slowing down your breathing as you trace your hand; by stretching your body to energize or calm or by taking a walk.

As we come to the end of 2019, we are inspired by the lyrics of Mr. Rogers' beautiful, yet simple song, "It's You I Like.” .
.
It's you I like,
The way you are right now,
The way down deep inside you—
Not the things that hide you...
But, it's you I like
.
.
This year, our vision to provide self-regulation and self-compassion tools and practices in educational, therapeutic and community settings for youth and families expanded across 19 counties, including Anoka-Hennepin, Cass (North Dakota) , Chisago, Clay, Dakota, Hennepin, Johnson (Iowa), LeSeur, Nicollet, Olmsted, Ramsey, Rice, Scott, Sherburne, South Washington, St Croix, Stearns, Washington, and Wright Counties.
We believe that no matter where a child is on their educational and/or therapeutic path, a common lens of being seen and celebrated is critical for learning and healing.
.
.
We are deeply grateful for our continued relationships with SHIP, Kind World Foundation, Peace Maker Minnesota, and additional funders that have enabled us to expand this work into schools, hospitals, juvenile services and early education environments.
.
.
We have an exceptional team of 15 contractors teaching in our educational, therapeutic, hospital and juvenile service settings with the sole purpose of ensuring that all youth, adults and staff know that right now, just as they are in this moment, they are always enough. Because as we know from Mr. Rogers:
.
.
It’s not the things you wear,
It’s not the way you do your hair—
But it’s you I like
The way you are right now,
The way down deep inside you—
Not the things that hide you,
Not your toys—
They’re just beside you.
.
.
But it’s you I like—
Every part of you,
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings
Whether old or new.
I hope that you’ll remember
Even when you’re feeling blue
That it’s you I like,
It’s you yourself,
It’s you, it’s you I like
.
.
Wishing you and your communities a healthy, happy and peaceful 2020.
.
.
