"Bee" Mindful in Remote Learning with Ms. Faliveno
STOP AND SMELL THE PUMPKIN SPICE!
- Fall is full of wonderful scents. Scent is a great way to help kids become more aware of the here-and-now... to be MINDFUL.
- An easy way to engage the sense of smell is to give your child something fragrant to smell... a flower, a slice of apple, etc.
- Invite your child to close their eyes and inhale the aroma. Take a few minutes to smell the fragrance. Then ask " What do you smell?" " What does that make you feel... remind you of?"
- Teaching children to stop and smell can literally remind them to "stop and smell the roses" and sometimes we all need to be reminded of that!
