RELAX KIDS BOOKS - SCHOOL RANGE

The Relax Kids (As seen on DRAGONS'DEN) founded by mumpreneur Marneta Viegas have launched school products including CDs 'Calmer Classrooms', 'Quiet Spaces' (Calming Meditations for Children), 'Relaxed and Ready to Learn'. Results and testing carried in schools have shown a calmer atmosphere for everyone in school involved in the programme. Playtimes are much improved with fewer arguments and less fighting. Relax Kids Children are learning ways to calm down, to walk away, to use their Chill Skills to react differently and more positively in situations where they may previously have lost control. Children are now developing a tool kit of skills which they use to help them behave differently, managing their feelings and respond in a calmer manner to challenges that may face them. The positive and imaginative approach of Relax Kids helps children build their self-esteem as well as teaching them a solid set of key skills. www.relaxkids.com/school.aspx
