Instructions

Ask your child to lie on their back, feet up toward the sky. Have them bend their knees slightly and hold on to their ankle (this mimics the 'happy baby' yoga pose). Gently help your child bring their ankles downward toward their head, bending their knees as needed. Then slowly help them rock backward and forward.

The Science

This quick exercise can help your child connect with their body, activating their heart center, which is responsible for self-esteem and self-trust.
