Adaptive teaching

Adults could give support by:

  • Using the Resource: Feelings cards to help children identify how Arjun might feel.
  • Introducing and modelling one calming idea at a time.
  • Allowing children to watch rather than take part.
  • Adapting the ideas to reflect children’s needs and practising them individually or in a quieter space where appropriate.
  • Blowing a light scarf or feather, or a dandelion if available, to help the children experience the breathing activity.
