Are you experiencing any of these challenges?
1. A notable rise in children's stress and anxiety.
2. Challenging behaviours and children struggling manage those bigger feelings.
3. Frustrated educators spending more time than ever managing disruptions.
4. An increase in educator stress, leading to burn out.
Through co-regulation experiences, our approach nurtures pro-social behaviour, minimises classroom disruptions and maximises learning opportunities.
And reduces teacher stress in the process!
Creating the Space for Inspired Learning
Children cannot learn when they are feeling anxious, sad, distracted, worried or grumpy.
In fact, no one can!
Introducing Peace Pauses to create that 'just right' space between calm and alert.
The Karma Classroom PD workshop empowers educators to create a calm and inspired classroom environment by weaving pauses into the day. Within these pauses children breathe, up or down regulate, move to oxygenate brain + body, and find that ‘just right’ space between calm and alert.
We call these Peace Pauses, and it is within this space that children become more present and are better able focus, learn and play. They also learn skills to self-regulate and manage those bigger feelings, developing essential life skills to carry them through childhood and adolescence, and into adulthood.
Requires just minutes a day to make a difference + no changes to the curriculum are required.
Your educators will notice a difference in their stress levels too, and adopting a consistent approach for all educators helps build more cohesion across teaching teams.
