Relaxation exercises for children
These relaxation exercises can become part of a daily family activity, or something that your child can practise on their own as part of their bedtime routine.
The video activities can be just used for sound (with the screen face down or turned away) if completed some hours before bedtime. Alternatively, if used early enough in the evening, it could provide a useful transition activity from a stimulating activity to start more relaxing or quiet activities.
