 How can you cascade simple ideas that you know will work for your whole student and staff body And maybe your parent and care community too. This is a really really simple approach And I know some of you are already doing it But in a recent coaching session with the school I was working with they told me that you they had used this approach in order to get everybody box breathing because they loved box breathing and I just thought it was it was a really simple lovely approach that many of you could try So here's what they did. So they had a staff meeting and they taught everybody the Exercise the technique. So in this case it was box breathing So really simple idea and they made sure that all their staff Experienced box breathing that they got to try it out And then they talked about the different times when you might use it in order to calm and help children emotionally regulate So everyone got to experience and try it and they understood the different times when they might use it then Everybody was given the resource that they needed in order to be able to go and teach this to all the children in the care So they all did it in tutor time So now all of the staff know the technique and they've now taught it to all of the children as part of their tutor session So now every child in the school has been taught about box breathing and again They've had the chance to try it out to experience it and they've also thought about the different times when they might be able to use it as well So that's been kind of cascaded to the kids and next and this is the bit I really liked the children were set as homework to teach their parents and carers how to use the box breathing technique as well and alongside this the parents and carers were sent a bit of information to Kind of back up what the child was saying and also again thinking about how and when We might use this box breathing technique in order to help us to relax and manage our emotions and so on and so forth and The the children were tasked with not just telling their parents about this but again actually doing it with them allowing their parents to experience it and Not only was this a really nice way of getting everyone to kind of Understand and try out this new technique that the school felt would be really really useful for them But it also meant that suddenly the whole school community the wider community had a really simple tool that Everybody knew how to use and so now it's become very quickly a really kind of simple go-to strategy for everyone in the school So if someone is feeling a bit stressed or anxious then everyone has this kind of shared language and idea around Okay, should we do box breathing for a couple of minutes and everybody knows what it is when to use it how to do it It's a shared experience a shared idea that everyone can use so really simple teach it to all your staff Discuss when you'll use it then have all the staff teach it to all the pupils then have your pupils teach it to your Parent and carer community of course it might not work for everything But I thought it's a really nice simple idea and I love it when we can take simple stuff that we know works that our kids Like that our teachers like we can cascade it to the whole community Sometimes it's those tiny learnings that we can do that spread fast and that we can engage with that have the most impact So why not give it a try do let me know in a comment below if you cascade in this way Or if you've got other good ideas for how we can Share some of the strategies that we're using with our kids and our teachers more widely Don't forget to subscribe if you would like to be kept up to date with my new videos every Tuesday and Friday Thanks, and good luck.
