My son’s new teacher at junior school, is an absolute joy : )
She has the perfect combination of imagination, energy, discipline,
enthusiasm and a love of her profession.

For the past few weeks she has been teaching simple massage
techniques to her class & each day they have been giving & receiving
head & shoulder massages to each other.
Not only that they have a relaxation journal in which after the massage they jot down how they feel etc.
She has been teaching them the importance of ‘breathing’ and stillness, all with what it seems really positive leaps.

My son, thinks the whole deal is wonderful.
We are having some amazing conversations about how it makes him feel & him being aware of how his classmates feel.

He is also encouraged by his teacher to try out his
new skills at home.
We are as you can imagine eager participants.
Having your child carefully & mindfully give
you a head massage is a joyous, heart swelling thing.

A gift....

a junior high age boy talking about and caring about feelings….a big step in becoming a great man some day.

I would

like to think so : )

That a whole class of children have been given this gift is inspiring, she has given them more already than some children receive their whole school life.
