Guided Relaxation Practice Information and Archive

Guided relaxation practice will help children to purposefully relax their bodies, turn inward, and focus on their own breath. Relaxation is a learned skill and it’s a great idea to take a few minutes to practice relaxation skills every day. Many parents do so by including relaxation practice in their child’s bedtime routine.

 

The Magic Window Relaxation Practice
(recording and information is from the Floppy Sleep Game Book, by Patti Teel)

Directions: Have your child stretch or move freely to the short musical introduction before following the subsequent directions, which will lead your child through a couple of stretches. The stretches will help children release tension as they begin unwinding and relaxing their bodies. I suggest that you and your child stretch together for several reasons: it will be fun, you’ll both reap the benefits, and the easiest way for your child to learn the stretches or yoga postures is to follow your movements. Follow up with The Magic Window visualization.
