I love this! I tried looking up Simpson toys on Amazon but couldn’t find the specific toys that you used. I wonder if you could suggest a link for purchasing toys similar to the ones you used in your demonstration?
Thank you, Susan! This seems like a great activity in mindfulness. I’m curious how this idea of coregulation and transforming ourselves in moments of stress/excitement translates to children who have trauma and feel triggered, or who experience daily microaggressions and understandably so have deep stress because of it. Is there a way to acknowledge these children’s experiences and states of being while also deepening connection to each other?
Fantastic way of showing kids and adults how we powerful it is to regulate ourselves.
I hope you won’t mind me using this great idea to teach kids and parents how powerful we can be when we take a moment to regulate. Of course you will get the credit for it.
THANK YOU!!!
I really like your activities. We are running a mindfulness programme in Wellington New Zealand and we definitely could get good tips from all your presentations so far in this summit
Thank you so much Susan for all your presentations,examples,advice.And your calming voice! I ‘ ll follow your blog to search for more suggestions and ideas,Magda (teacher from Poland)
Thank you for being good company the past five days. I think your interventions are practical, useful and can be adapted in any country in any circumstance. ¡Gracias por las lecciones!
Susan, thank you so much for an illumination of the deep-reaching potential flowing in all your evocative (yet delightful) mindful games for children. PS : I enjoyed playing too:) Really grateful to the organisers and every expert for the rich input on this summit.
