Supporting Teachers & Children in Jan and Feb in 2022
Fresh Little Minds REGULATE & RELAX is a trauma informed self-regulation, emotional resilience programme for children delivered by classroom assistants and teachers in schools and educators in the community. The highly structured curriculum has been broken into micro lesson plans, ‘bite sized chunks’, and is supported by an incredible set of resources created to support busy educators to have the confidence to deliver an emotional health and resilience curriculum with ease, pleasure and with minimum preparation and time.
Mental Health & Covid Recovery: It is too early for our society to be even thinking about Covid recovery as we are still in the pandemic and the impact of the pandemic will carry on for families and communities for many years to come. It is therefore vital that we are doing everything we can to become trauma reducing and this means equipping our teachers, parents and children with the tools to regularly self-regulate and relax their nervous system so that their bodies can incrementally dissolve the impact of the trauma that is being experienced. We know that teachers and community workers are extremely busy so this programme has been designed to enable educators to access our thoughtful and impactful curriculum, simply and easily. It contains almost everything you need!

Relax & Regulate Themes
Ready To Relax
You can’t relax with all that stuck energy flying around in the room. Lets learn to Anchor and Regulate together. Through play we introduce the programme, GROUND children energy and begin to learn some repeated techniques to aid self-regulation.
Move Move Move
Children often ‘Flip Their Lids’ when emotions get to much. In this theme we explore emotions and feelings, how they are experienced and expressed physically and tools to trick the brain into feeling better.
Tickle Touch & Tap
Want a safe positive antidote to negative thoughts and feelings? Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or ‘TAPPING’ helps stuck energy find its own way out. Children are encouraged to name and recognise unhelpful feelings and replace them with empowering thoughts.
Tickle Touch Tap & HUGS
Children Practice tapping and explore even more strategies using simple touch, massage and power points on their hands. These strategies can be used subtle and at any point in the day if stressed worried, afraid or blue.
Aroma Vibes
Using our oldest and most powerful olfactory sense children will learn how to create positive neural pathways and Anchor powerful memories for the future. This session is accompanied by breathwork.
