I work as a behavior specialist serving the needs of five public elementary schools. I used this curriculum prior to TAKS testing. The students loved the interactive lessons and they recalled the strategies from previous lessons each time I returned to their classrooms. The teachers were impressed as well and will continue reinforcing the stress reduction and relaxation strategies throughout the year. — A. Childers
Children that use relaxation techniques experience greater attendance, higher test scores, and increased awareness of self. Teachers, parents, and children benefit in all areas of life from this program.
