\u201cSelf regulation is the awareness of anxiety and our ability to regain a calm centre. Since anxiety constrains intelligence, it\u2019s important for young and old to learn simple self-reg ways to regain balance. I wrote “Take A Breath\u201d to inspire a self-reg response in all who hear it.\u201d ~ Raffi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take A Breath at School<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take A Breath <\/em>(The Self-Reg Song) is both tuneful and calming, and provides simple ways, such as breathing slowly in and out, to feel better when feelings are beginning to overwhelm. Teachers and parents alike will find it helpful when children experience stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Stuart Shanker is a self-reg expert, Raffi’s colleague and member of his Child Honouring advisory council. He leads The MEHRIT Centre<\/a>, an organization working with early childhood programs, schools, and communities across Canada and beyond to ground living and learning in self-regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSelf-Reg is the ability to deal effectively with stress in all the many forms a child encounters – physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and prosocial – then recover from the energy expenditure involved and restore the energy expended. Raffi\u2019s song will certainly help.\u201d – \u201cIn the Shanker household, self-regulation meant listening to Raffi: and not just for the children!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
