Many people think kids need to "sit still" to focus, but research shows that movement actually boosts focus and helps regulate their emotions! When kids are allowed to move, they’re able to release extra energy, calm their nervous systems, and improve attention. From a quick stretch to some wiggles or a little dance break, movement breaks are essential for learning and emotional well-being. Instead of trying to keep kids still, let’s give them the freedom to move so they can truly thrive!

A trigger will seem to happen automatically, it will seem totally justified at the time. But if we sit back and look at the situation when we are calm, we can see that our reactions may have been uncalled for. There is often another emotion underlying anger. The behaviour your child is showing you could take you back to difficult times in your childhood or to how you were parented. The behaviour could also trigger fears that you have about your parenting ability or generate a feeling of helplessness. In this way our reaction to our child's behaviour has more to do with our difficulty processing these emotions than it does to the behaviour itself.

It may seem unlikely that emotions you felt when you were a child are coming out as an adult. We may feel that surely we have moved on from this. But let’s say for example, when you were a child you were not allowed to question your parent's authority without getting "in trouble". So when your child argues, this triggers you to rise up against this "disobedience". When really it is perfectly normal for a child to question or say "no" to their parents.

Other common triggers could be crying, whining and tantrums. These often cause triggers for people who as children were not allowed to express difficult emotions. The result is that we
try to stop it by removing the child or becoming angry to shut them down.
