7 tips for channeling your child's energy

Teaching tool

how Channel your children's energy

7 tips 

Naturally, a child needs to move, even if we adults want them to be calm all the time. It's natural for a child to be restless after a long day at school. So how do we deal with it? 

Parents

What is excess energy?

Too much energy is reflected in body movements. Gestures that become jerky, preventing the child from concentrating and communicating with others.

His thoughts move from one to the other, and he no longer controls his emotions.

How can I channel my child's energy?

According to child psychologist Florence Millot, the best way to channel your child's energy is to start by distinguishing between classic restlessness and what we call "over-energy ".

Then it's time tolook for the cause of the agitation. Why is my child excited? Why is he/she bursting with energy?

She also advises guiding the child in his need for movement, to frame his gestures and avoid any overflow.

How to guide the child's movement?

Take the initiative and suggest a game before he/she comes up with a crazy idea that will only increase excitement and perhaps mischief.

If you don't have any ideas, I've posted on pinterest several sports challengess that might interest you.

(They can all be used indoors and outdoors, and you're not limited by timing, since you decide when to stop).

Don't hesitate to subscribe to follow all the games I regularly update. 

Why choose a game to channel my child?

Play helps to frame the child's movements and thus modulate, moderate and control his motor momentum.

How do you organize your day?

for the family

Parents : How do you organize your day?

For you and your children 

Many parents are short of time, ideas and organization when it comes to managing their family's daily life. Here are a few tips to help you and your children make the most of your day.

Parents

Parents: use an organization sheet

I've created a time-saving tool for your day. 

  • Free download
  • PDF version (printable)
  • For parents and children

 

Step 1: Write down everything you need to do

To help you get organized, it's important to write down everything you need to do during the day.

It can never be repeated often enough: "words fly away, but the written word remains".

The 1st step of the organization sheet is to write down all the tasks (appointment, race, accompanying your child, etc...) on the 1st part.

This way, you'll already have an overview of your day in just a few seconds. 

Step 2: Priorities are noted

The second step is very important.

It consists in prioritizing all the most important tasks that you must do without putting them off until tomorrow. 

Sample list: 

  • Picking up Chloé from school 
  • Preparing breakfast
  • Showering children 
  • Going to the gym
  • Shopping
  • Pediatrician appointment 
  • Laying out the laundry 
  • Call Mathieu
  • Watch a series on Netflix
  • Playing on the console
  • Doing homework 
  • Playing with children 
  • Taking time for yourself
  • etc. 

Keep only what is a priority for you and then move on to step 3 (the last and best step). 

Step 3: Delegate!

The aim of the third step is to delegate some of the things you haven't prioritized.

Let's imagine that you have put in your priority list : 

  • Picking up Chloé from school 
  • Going to the gym
  • Pediatrician appointment 
  • Call Mathieu
  • Doing homework 
  • Playing with children
  •  

You can delegate these tasks to anyone:

  • Preparing breakfast
  • Showering children 
  • Laying out the laundry 
  • Shopping
  •  

Organization is the best way to simplify your daily life. It's great to have a stress-free day! It's your organization that needs to adapt to your intentions and imperatives .

  • At the adult's signal, the child moves as quickly as possible to the announced color zone.
  • The last person to arrive in the color zone is eliminated.

The adult 

  • It announces a color to the children. 
  • For a good warm-up, the adult makes several color announcements without elimination.

Then, to increase the intensity of the warm-up, the adult announces several colors.

Example: 

Red green blueIn the "red" zone, children move towards the red color (cross the color), then green, then blue, to stop in the final zone (blue).

The final zone is always the last color announced.

Finally, when the children's body temperature has risen. The adult can launch an elimination competition. 

The eliminated child can choose the color(s) of his/her choice for the next round. 

Recommendation: 

After each elimination, the child will drink water to keep hydrated.

When one or more colors are announced, the children must run as fast as they can towards the announced color(s).

Reminder:
