Minding our Heads in a Classroom Setting

Standard - $69.99 $37.09 Anniversary Sale 2026 - 47% off!

Do you find more and more busy bodies in your classroom – kids who struggle to concentrate, initiate tasks, or transition smoothly?

Many appear restless, distracted, or even irritable, and these behaviors can derail learning, disrupt routines, and challenge classroom flow.

With students juggling nearly 6,00 thoughts a day, quick grounding and regulation techniques can make all the difference.

In this session, school-based OTs will discover simple, time-limited strategies – movement, mindfulness, breath, and co-regulation – that help kids pause, reset, and re-engage.

These practical tools not only support smoother transitions and attention but also empower students to build self-awareness and new habits that stick when practiced consistently.
