Take Care of Yourself?

For adults, one of the best ways to help kids is to start by helping ourselves.  During  this seminar, you will practice relaxation, stretching, and breathing techniques that will calm the holiday jitters.  You will also learn how these techniques can clear the mind, improve behaviors, and help children and adults focus.  These techniques can  be used in the classroom, childcare setting, and at home.  Please wear comfortable clothing and get ready to just relax!  Children are welcome to participate. FREE
