Take a moment…

…to go to your happy place!

The Coronavirus lockdown is stopping us being able to go to visit friends, to the park, the cinema and I know some of you have even had holidays cancelled. We have to spend a lot more time at home with our families and that can feel stressful and frustrating at times. It might help to remind children that they are not “stuck” at home, they are “safe” at home.

Have you ever heard the phrase “go to your happy place”? This week’s relaxation allows the children to do just that. Using their imaginations, they can create a safe, peaceful, happy place where they can take a break.

When I do this with pupils at school we would draw out what our special, happy place looks like. We would talk through the sights, sounds, smells and tastes and add details to the drawing. Many children enjoy putting the pictures up on their wall so they can see them before they go to bed at night.

Give it a try…
