Relaxation resources for kids in the UK
When a friend of mine first told me about Relax Kids, I couldn't believe I hadn't heard of them before. They are a UK organisation, dedicated to helping children's physical, mental and emotional health and well-being.
Their belief is that regular relaxation can have a huge impact on kid's lives. Child stress affects 1 in 5 children now, according to their website and that's a scary figure when you think that children are meant to be better at releasing their emotions than adults and that their natural state of being, is happiness! If our children are becoming more stressed, then this says something about the expectations and ideologies of our modern society. So it's fantastic that an organisation like Relax Kids is doing something to actively combat this rising concern.
For non-stressed kids, there is still so much to gain from the techniques they teach such as movement, breathing, massage, visualisation and affirmations. Kids can improve their overall health and wellbeing and increase their learning potential.
On offer are many resources and you can check out their website to find out all about it, but what I like is that they offer classes that you can send you kids to and they also offer tips for teachers to bring mindfulness and relaxation into their classes. There is so much on the website, so I would definately recommend spending some time looking at what they do.
The thing about working with kids in this way is that you are helping them to develop into functional, confident adults, free from the fears and hang-ups that plague many adults today. I currently work with adults and it's great helping them to undo habits and thought patterns that have held them back in their lives, but it is a shame they have had to learn these techniques so late in life.
Our kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews and pupils will benefit greatly from learning simple techniques they can easily use to help them deal with any difficulties they may face as they grow up. Then as our future generations grow, they may not struggle with stress as so many of us do today.
The website also calls for anyone interested to take a two-day training course which then enables you to run classes in your area. It's a fantastic opportunity and I know that when I have my first child, I will be seriously considering adding this string to my bow.
So, if you know any kids and their parents haven't heard of Relax Kids, please share this blog so they can find out for themselves what it is all about.
