INTRODUCTION: Preadolescence is that marvelous time when children develop a growing curiosity about the wider world and increasingly rely on their own skills. These preteen years are the ideal time to help children understand and self-regulate their emotions. Research at the Institute of HeartMath, in the educational community and elsewhere show learning socioemotional skills early can improve behavior, performance and, ultimately, success at home, school and play.
Home School: Scientists with the Institute of HeartMath have researched how children learn and found that coherence, a measurable physiological state, can greatly enhance learning. Your 7-11-year-olds, whether they attend a public, private or charter school or you home-school them, can improve their academic performance with the coherence-building lessons, games and music HeartMath has developed.
Parents of thousands of children have seen not only their academic performance improve, but also their behavior at home and in the classroom. As children learn to understand and self-regulate their emotions with HeartMath’s easy-to-learn tools, their relationships also improve with friends, family, schoolmates, teachers and others. The HeartSmarts™ Grades 3-5 classroom program is designed for teachers in a traditional setting or parents and others in home-school lessons. TestEdge® Grades 3-5 will help your child deal with test anxiety and the pressure of high-stakes testing; read The Research underlying this unique program.
