In Primary One, we are learning how to care for our friends in a safe and kind way. One activity we can do is mindful peer massage.
What is mindful peer massage?
It is a gentle shoulder or back massage that we give to a friend to help them feel calm and relaxed. Before we begin we always ask for permission, we listen if our friend says “no” and we use gentle hands only.
After the massage, we say, “Thank you.” We smile at our friend and we feel calm and ready to learn. Mindful peer massage helps the children feel relaxed and build friendships.
