Home schooling in Hong Kong? Try this to create calm
With our children confined to the house and a swirling cloud of panic surrounding us, how can we avoid the build-up of stress? Our children rely on school and social activities to provide them with structure and meaning. Take those away and we are rudderless. This is where mindfulness and yoga come in. UK charity Childline has collated a number of resources for those looking for calm The Childline 'Calm Zone' includes a whole range of different techniques to try including breathing exercises and a hilarious relaxing games section (sounds like an oxymoron but they do really work!)
