Taking notice - the surprisingly powerful way to boost wellbeing
Aug 06, 2025In this video, I’m exploring one of the most overlooked (but powerful) ways to boost wellbeing: taking notice.
We’ll look at how slowing down and tuning into the present moment can calm the nervous system, ease anxiety, and build emotional awareness. Whether you're a parent, teacher or ELSA, this is a gentle, evidence-based approach that can help both you and your child feel more grounded this summer.
I'll share:
đź’› Why it works
đź’› What it could look like in everyday life
đź’› And how to make it work for your family or your classroom
The book I mention is Mindful Games by Susan Kaiser Greenland.
You can find details of The Mindfulness In Schools Project here.
If you’re not always sure what to say or do when your child goes into fight, flight, or freeze before school, you’re not alone. I’ve created a free guide that walks you through simple, practical steps to help bring your child back to calm. You can download it here and keep it handy for those tricky mornings.
