Creating calm in children's minds

07/06/27

SUMMARY
Bullying, pressure to compete with peers on studying, or other interpersonal issues, there are many things to make kids feel stressed. According to a 2006 survey by the Benesse Educational Research and Development Center, around 60% of elementary, highschool students felt "irritated". Meanwhile, there is now slow-but-stesdy momentum among educators and parents to let children wind down using such common tools as yoga and massage after school. Through yoga lessons, students can get their time just to relax and forget about 'all that' for a second, and focus on themselves and learn how to relax. In "kids massage" lessons, children learn how to give each other massages and this physical touch makes them realize how tender and affectionate they must be to the other person.
