#24.9 Activity 9 Pets: Ten Ways to Relieve Stress in 1 Minute

Help for Special Educators

This activity was originally a segment of Episode 24. I am publishing each one separately so you can access individual activities easier.
It is really important to do simple but effective self-care tasks each day to relieve stress and avoid teacher burnout. The activities in this series take one minute or less. They are designed to help you stop, and refocus - for only a minute. Repeat as needed throughout your day.
"Activity 9: Pets" can be done alone, with your family, co-workers, or maybe even with your class. Many special educators teach their students to breathe or count to ten as a calming strategy. We adults need to do it also!
Try them all out, then pick out the ones that work best for you and repeat them often during the school day.
