❄️ 12 Days of Regulation: Day 11 ❄️
Welcome to Day 11! Today is all about the body — because sometimes the fastest way to calm the brain is by moving the body first. Kids aren’t meant to sit still while regulating. Their nervous systems calm through jumping, stretching, shaking, dancing, and intentional movement.
Movement breaks help reset the brain, release tension, and give kids a healthy way to get energy out before it turns into frustration, silliness, or emotional overload.
This is where platforms like GoNoodle, GoZen, and even the Calm App becomes a total game-changer.
🧊 Today’s Skill: Using Movement to Reset the Nervous System
Movement teaches kids to:
Release big feelings safely
Lower anxiety and physical tension
Re-engage their thinking brain
Improve focus and impulse control
Prevent meltdowns before they happen
And when movement is fun, kids are actually willing to do it — which is why we love GoNoodle.
