Body Scan for Kids

This link includes written and audio directions for an 11-minute body scan. Body scans are another calming activity that help us be mindful of our bodies and bring our focus back to present. If you are having a big feeling, need to relax after a busy day, or want to start your day off feeling relaxed, a body scan is a great tool.
