Girls Cherry Leggings with Star - Clothes that Calm

Comfortable and cute these leggings are also great for emotional regulation. The relax star on the right leg can help your child access a self regulation method at all times.  Start by having the child inhale at each point of the star and exhale tracing to the next point. The aim is to have the child exhale twice as long as they inhale to calm the sympathetic nervous system (fight, flight, or freeze.) The next step is to count the numbers 1-5 and then backward 5-1. It is proven that counting can help the brain go from the emotional to logical state helping to calm us. Encourage the child to use the opposite hand of where the star is placed (if the star is on the right side use the left hand to trace or point to the numbers). Crossing the midline of the body helps to strengthen both sides of the brain working together. A bilateral integrative connection can help to verbally (left brain) express your feelings (right brain) and hopefully regulate. Fabric: 80% polyester and 20% spandex Sk
