Self-regulation, and the development of it, are big in the schools I go to. I have no doubt it would be the same in yours. So how much better is it to start development and acquisition of this at an earlier age.

It’s painfully obvious (just check the many articles on the behaviours in Australian schools) that our older children are in dire need of this.

This is a simple and gently worded countdown to calming, and would work so well with even the youngest children in kinder. Teaching Smalls a technique to improve their own control can only be good.

In the past, I have taught kiddos to do some simple meditationi techniques, mindfulness and some relaxation strategies. This starts at an even earlier level and will make a great addition to your repertoire.

Of course, it’s not just suitable for a class or group setting but will also be a boon to parents. Join in with this one little agitated person and count down with the rhyming text and the colourful illustrations. Get your Smalls up on their feet and joining in.

It’s a really simple and easy way to get them into what could be one of the best habits of their lives. I’m giving it a big 4 🧘🧘🧘🧘 recommendation.
