🌿 Gentle Reminder

The Butterfly Pause is not about making children sit still or behave.

It is about creating a moment of awareness.

Children are invited to slow down, notice their body, breath and surroundings and reconnect with the present moment.

There is no right or wrong way to take a Butterfly Pause.
