Mastery Practice Tool

Breathing in Silence

Create a quiet moment and set a little timer for 2 or 3 minutes. Then sit and focus on the sound of silence. You will hear many inside and outside noises, but your focus is on the sound of silence. Notice the “noise” outside and inside, but allow yourself to simply acknowledge them and stay with your intention of focusing on silence. Notice how the silence sounds to you. Slowly over time you can increase the time you’d like to do this.

Testimonial

Our ability, as parents, to support our children to thrive in stressful situations is becoming more and more important. Children need very specific tools in their self regulation 'tool kits' that they can draw upon to support their success, and trusted adults to coach them in their use. But what are these tools and how to we teach them effectively to our kids?

Thankfully, there is Beverley Pugh! Bev takes a curious and calm approach to supporting children and parents with this journey. She is passionately invested in teaching parents and children ways to reduce anxiety and approach life positively and confidently. Bev is a master of her craft - she draws on years of her own experience as a parent and counsellor to work effectively and respectfully with children and their parents. I have thoroughly enjoyed Bev's recent workshops for parents and children and recommend them to anyone willing to explore specific strategies to help their children thrive at home, at school and in their community.
