Even when it doesn't look like they are paying attention, they are taking so much in 🤗🤗

"Most of our systems that involve children are designed on the compliance model — that’s true in parenting and educating. We’ve leaned on compliance in our educational system since the 1800s, and it’s been part of our parenting culture for centuries. And yet, neuroscience has now taught us that there’s a monumentally better way. Through research we know that our neurobiology is a driving force in behavior — particularly our autonomic nervous system and our brain"

Absolutely.

Hold space for those big emotions. In order to hold space we need to make enquiries into our own emotional requlation and our own perceptions of emotions.

This is exactly why I run trainings on holding healthy emotional space 🙌

One of the things I love to do as a yoga teacher is remind children how they can create and imagine whatever they want. That they are the authority and the artist; they are free to move the way they want to move and express the way they want to express.

I simply model and suggest healthy options that don't hurt themselves or anyone/anything else ❤🙏

Absolutely 💯

Those of you Mums and Dad doing the inner healing work - YOU ROCK 🤗🙌

👉 Me, brainwashing kids with the meaning of the word 'Namaste' since 2014 🙏

I even tell them to move in the yoga poses nowadays 🙏
Somatic movement is so important for moving emotion that can cloud the mind 😊

So many issues around attention (or rather, lack of attention) stem from children's being unable to move their bodies. Children are not meant to sit for 8 hours a day. This constriction takes a toll on the mental, physical, and emotional well-being of our children. Movement not only keep our bodies healthy, but it allows the brain to focus by ensuring the parasympathetic nervous system is engaged (the breaks of the brain) which then allows the child to focus, in addition to helping regulate sleep & mood, and allowing the child to experience competence & mastery in their worlds.

My favourite pose at the moment as I work on bringing conscious awareness to my feet. Intentionally keeping them active to build strength (I am Strong) and create space 🤗
