The gentle whisper of autumn is here, bringing with it a time of transformation and new beginnings. Our theme, "Acorns and Amber," is here to remind us of the season’s serene beauty and the potential within us all for change. As the leaves transition into vibrant hues of amber, and acorns find their way to the nurturing soil, we too can embrace the cycle of growth and rejuvenation.

Sometimes all you need is a moment to pause and a moment to breathe. A moment in stillness to help refocus the mind, and induce a sense of calm in the body. These breathing exercises for children and teens invite us to do just that… To take a moment to pause, and invite comfort, safety and belonging into our hearts and minds.

Help the children and families you support with calm, healing and resilience through evidence based mindfulness interventions such as healing mantras, yoga poses, breathing techniques, and ideas that help us connect to ourselves and world around us. Highlights from our partnership with Douglas County, Omaha, Nebraska and ReConnect Youth.

As we approach the season of spring, we can reflect on our challenges and triumphs over the past few months, and look towards the brighter days and months ahead of us.  At this time of change, it is also a good time to remember the benefits of tuning into the world around us, by taking moments to pause and observe, enjoying the blue skies, the sounds of spring, and life re-emerging around us from the winter. 

Take a moment to be still. Feel connected to, and held by the earth, and breathe into the whole body. Direct the breath to any areas of stress or tension to help release the burdens. Exhale and let it all go. Repeat this exercise as many times as you need, until you feel relaxed. Remember that when you pause in stress, you are better able to respond to what life is giving you.

These mindfulness activities for children and for ourselves invite us to take a moment to pause, and invite comfort, safety and belonging into our hearts and minds. When our minds feel like there is too much going on, we can remember to pause for a few moments and hold this quiet time in your heart.

We have arrived in the year 2023! Let’s welcome it in softly and with kindness. Do you tend to put great expectations on yourself for making New Years resolutions, for starting the year with a bang and a spring in your step? I think we all do. But, this isn’t always the case for many (if not all) of us. And if we overpromise ourselves from the off, it can result with us being less productive or feeling worse that we did before. 

Just as deer feed their bodies for strength and endurance particularly leading up to colder weather, we can also feed our minds! As we immerse ourselves in the winter season, let’s tune in to our breath to help with calm and resilience while we build our brains. All that’s needed are a few moments to reset and refocus, enabling us to continue with a clearer mind and greater sense of inner peace. Let’s be resilient like deer!

The cold winter months and busyness of the holidays can sometimes leave us feeling blue and overloaded. We can turn to nature and to our breath for help! Think of bright yellow and orange Wintergold pines and firs that light up dreary skies and bring warmth to the landscape. We can bring this warmth and light into our lives too, while practicing gratitude for what’s within us and around us.

We hope you enjoy this theme centred around “You Are Enough,” from our session at the ReConnect Parent Town Hall. Remember that “You are a work of greatness” every day. You can read this affirmation with the children you support too! Find more mindfulness activities for children including breathing exercises as a part of this theme.

During every stage in life, we all want to feel a sense of support, comfort and safety. With these creative activities we can help encourage a greater understanding of situations and people that make children feel safe.

These simple activities can be done at home or school, and can help to build a greater understanding of the people that are significant to children, and also ensure that we teach them the importance of showing love and kindness to others.
