Hi Kim,

At the onset of school, I teach how breathing in through our nose and slowly let out through their mouths (3X) is a relaxing way to begin our day. I teach that we must be our own best friend if we want to have wonderful relationships throughout our lives. We do this first thing when we settle in, after lunch and one more breathing brake during the afternoon.

Each year brings more IEP’s, behavioral issues, emotional issues and parent frustrations which unfortunately at times, is directed at the teacher. I just looked at my student roster and I have 6 IEP’s, 4 different severe allergies and 3 with a “legal” flags. That is more than half my class of 23. I will be breathing a lot!!!

Breathing, physical activity and social interaction are very effective techniques to release stress during the workday. Another activity I do is coloring within the lines. Thank you for the information 🙂
