Creating harmony in mind-body since the beginning of school

How many times have we encountered incidents where children cry endlessly and do not want to be separated from their parents when they are being left at school, scenes full of drama that leave parents heartbroken and compromise teachers because the children's drama suggests that they do not have a great time in the classroom, ¡Teacher!

Creating harmony in a chaotic classroom

---

Although at first it sounds illogical, the habitual behavior of children (tremendous and chaotic at times) can be perfectly moldable, since they resemble a blank book, capable of being molded in a better way thus creating incredible people when they are taking more conscience.

How do we achieve this?

---

The first thing you should consider is to prepare a cozy space where the child feels safe and protected, the colors of the walls are even a point to evaluate, remember that fast food places usually have citrus colors, this with the intention that the consumer arrives, bought and leaves quickly in such a way as to have positions available for the next clients, in the classroom they must achieve the opposite, choose soft colors, that calm the psyche of the little ones.

The order is an important point, the children dont not synonymous with disorder, the most correct thing is to create different areas depending on the activities you wish to develop.

Surely the child, even out of curiosity, will react differently.

Accompany the breathing with some music

Maybe you start to question the reason for breathing and music if you are a math teacher and you can ask yourself where in my academic programming are you asking me to do this?

Dear teacher! There is no more rewarding activity that your students want to see classes with you and the results of their evaluations are satisfactory, so why not? Creating a harmonious environment by giving importance to the mind and body will not only help your students have more disposition to learn but it will make the day more bearable.

Currently there are many sounds that help to release tension, fears, music that helps you relax, expand your mind, help you in concentration, each of them can be used to accompany the activity of breathing, if you have no idea what they are nor how to get them, here is an example of them:
