New Resources
Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well and adjusting to our temporary new normal. We are continuing to add some new posts to assist you during these strange times. We will be trying to post new resources on a weekly basis.
Included on this post are some additional resources: one for parents and two for your child.
Parents
This resource comes from the Child Mind Institute, a non-profit which provides resources for parents on various topics, such as anxiety, anger, and behavior. Currently, there are many resources and videos for parents on supporting children, teens and parents regarding COVID-19.
Children
Mindful Schools is offering free live streaming mindfulness classes. Go here to learn more. Mrs. MacKinnon and I took online classes here when we started teaching mindfulness in the classrooms at Nab.
Another great resource is from Centervention. This website contains free activities that you can complete using material that you already have at home. The games revolve around various social-emotional topics, such as identifying feelings, impulse control, anxiety, among others. One example is the Music Freeze game. In this game, kids dance until the music stops and can only move when the music starts up again. Post-activity discussion questions are also given.
We hope you find these resources helpful to you and your family.
Be well,
Mrs. Reynolds & Mrs. MacKinnon
