Hedgy's Guide to Calm began as a catchy jingle as a way to teach my students how to calm down after every transition and at the beginning of each lesson. We would sing, "STOP. LOOK. LISTEN. WIGGLE. and BREATHE." We add actions while we sang the jingle together. Then we'd: STOP - Freeze! LOOK - at what our bodies were doing LISTEN - to the sounds your body is making WIGGLE - our toes and BREATHE - in through our nose and out through our mouths
I decided to turn this self-regulation tool into a children's book and asked my good friend, extraordinary artist, and fellow teacher to come up with some illustrations. She came up with Hedgy, the hedgehog, as the adorable and trustworthy "guide to calm", including the perfect title, 'Hedgy's Guide to Calm'.
And that is exactly what 'Hedgy's Guide to Calm' is - Hedgy, the hedgehog, guiding YOU, your children, and students to calm in a mindful, fun, and easy way.
I feel like STOP. LOOK. LISTEN. WIGGLE. and BREATHE. are Super Powers that we all possess and once we know how to use them, we can be Super-Calm! Once my students and I mastered the first five Super Powers, I added the very important Super Power VISUALIZE. I called them the "Six Super Powers to Becoming a Super-Calm YOU!"
As a fellow parent and teacher, I trust that you will use my Hedgy's Guide to Calm resources to meet the needs of you, your children, family, students, classroom, and school. Please take these materials and add them to your daily rhythm and routine as you see fit.
I do recommend that you begin to learn how to use YOUR own Super Powers to Becoming a Super-Calm YOU before introducing them to your children and students. I have designed a Hedgy's Guide to Calm 21 Day Challenge (found on my Hedgy's Guide to Calm YouTube Channel) to help you make using your Super Powers a beneficial habit. This will give you a better understanding of how to use and introduce the Super Powers in your home and classroom. Your calm nervous system will have a calming effect on your children and students while you begin to introduce them to Hedgy and how to use their Super Powers.
Have fun being calm!
