This video compliments Hedgy's Guide to Calm PDF or EPUB book and Hedgy's Guide to Teaching Hedgy's Guide to Calm PDF (found on www.supercalmhedgy.com). 

Please take the Hedgy's Guide to Calm 21 Day Challenge yourself! 

The 21 days will help you to become familiar with how to use the Super Powers to Becoming a Super-Calm YOU before adding them to your family's daily rhythm and routine 

AND 

will provide YOU with the tools and skills to help calm YOURSELF down. 

Calm parents + Calm children = A calm and loving home environment 

Before teaching the individual Super Powers, I would highly recommend you introduce Hedgy (your lovable and trustworthy guide) and Hedgy's Calm Action Song with VISUALIZE. It's time to go to www.supercalmhedgy.com and purchase the MP3 Hedgy Calm Action Song with VISUALIZE. and put up Hedgy's Calm Action Card for VISUALIZE. on the wall with the rest of the cards. 

Sing and move with Hedgy's Calm Action Song with VISUALIZE all day long and then slowly introduce the BONUS Super Power 6) VISUALIZE. 

Hedgy (and I) will guide you through how to teach the BONUS Super Power 6) VISUALIZE. VISUALIZE. is a Super Power that can be used on its own but is even more powerful when used with the other 5 Super Powers. 

Here are some suggestions about how to introduce VISUALIZE.: 

* Read the VISUALIZE pages in Hedgy's Guide to Calm to your children 

* Use Super Power STOP. and have them close their eyes and picture their favorite person. 

* After a couple of minutes, have them open their eyes and describe to them who YOU visualized. 

* Ask them to share who they visualized with a family member, a friend, and/or written or drawn in a journal. 

* Great for an ongoing conversation because visualizing what makes YOU happy can change. 

* VISUALIZE is a powerful Super Power to use at bed time. Having your children visualize (by closing their eyes and picturing in their head) their favorite person, place, or activity and telling YOU about what they are visualizing will help your children calm their minds down before going to sleep. REPEAT for favorite place and activity (SPREAD OUT OVER A COUPLE OF DAYS OR WEEKS.) 

Journaling: 

Have everyone in Your family have their own VISUALIZE journal VISUALIZE. is an excellent Super Power for journaling. Your children can visualize a different person, place, or activity every time they use Super Power VISUALIZE. Journaling using words and drawings is a great way for children to list people, places, and activities that make them feel good and putting them all in a journal will become a great resource for them to refer to when they need a reminder. Keeping a Super Power VISUALIZE journal for the entire year will be a wonderful keepsake and can be added to each child's self regulation tool box. It is important for you students to also see you write and drawn in YOUR OWN Super Power VISUALIZE. 

Using VISUALIZE. with other 5 Super Powers: 

When the 6 Super Powers to Becoming a Super-Calm YOU are learned and practice over an extending period of time, using them all together come naturally. STOP. LOOK. LISTEN. WIGGLE. BREATHE. & VISUALIZE. 

With practice, it will only take just over a minute (at a time) to use the 6 Super Powers feeling stressed, sad, depressed, upset, or excited and need to calm down. The Super Powers can be used from One to One Million times during a day. Eventually, the Super Powers will automatically kick in when your body is (triggered) stressed, sad, depressed, upset, or excited and needs to calm down. 

TAKE - YOUR - TIME 

The Super Powers to Becoming a Super-Calm YOU are a WHOLE life skills and it is beneficial for them to be learned over an extended period of time for a better understanding and to allow "new behaviors to become automatic and enacted with minimum conscious awareness because the repetitive behavioral patterns are literally etched into our neural pathways.” - Psychology Today
