Relaxation Script For Kids
Relaxation Script For Kids
I. Introduction
Welcome to our calming journey, designed especially for young minds. This script, created by [YOUR NAME] and provided by [YOUR COMPANY NAME], is tailored to help children relax, focus, and find peace through guided imagery and gentle suggestions. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or caregiver, use this template to craft a soothing experience for the kids in your care.
Before we begin, please ensure the environment is safe, quiet, and comfortable for the child. Minimize distractions to create a peaceful setting. You can customize this script by adding or altering details to better suit the child's interests and preferences.
II. Breathing Exercise
Let's start by finding a comfortable sitting or lying position. Close your eyes gently, and take a deep breath in through your nose, counting to three. Hold it for a second, and then slowly exhale through your mouth, counting to three again. Let's do this three times:
-
Inhale slowly... one, two, three.
-
Hold.
-
Exhale slowly... one, two, three.
With each breath, imagine you are blowing out any worries or busy thoughts, clearing your mind more each time.
III. Guided Relaxation Journey
Imagine you're walking on a soft, sandy beach. The sun is setting, painting the sky in shades of orange and purple. As you walk, you can feel the warm sand between your toes. Listen to the gentle waves of the ocean, coming in and going out, just like your breath.
In your hand, you hold a small, smooth stone. It's your worry stone. Think of something that has been bothering you, and imagine putting that worry into the stone. Now, gently throw the stone into the ocean, and watch it splash and disappear. Your worry washes away with it, leaving you feeling lighter and more relaxed.
IV. Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Let’s make our muscles feel soft and relaxed. We’ll start from your toes and move up to your head. Squeeze your toes tight, tight, tight! Now let them go and feel them become very relaxed. Next, tighten the muscles in your legs. Hold them tight... and release. Feel the relaxation spread up your legs.
Now, make your hands into fists, squeeze them tightly... then release. Let your arms feel heavy and relaxed. Scrunch your shoulders up to your ears, hold them there... and let go. Feel the weight of your arms pulling your shoulders down, totally relaxed.
V. Closing
Take one more deep breath in, hold it, and then let it all out. Notice how calm and relaxed you feel. Remember, anytime you feel a little overwhelmed, you can close your eyes and remember this peaceful place and your breath that can calm any storm.
Slowly wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you’re ready, open your eyes and stretch a little. You’ve done a great job relaxing today!
