"The labyrinth is blooming with life and nature, and it's the safest home Tia has ever known."
In Tia Discovers the Labyrinth, we meet Tia, a young butterfly, as she makes new friends and shares the tale of her stormy arrival in the garden labyrinth. When anxiety strikes, Tia must find ways to calm her emotions and regain her sense of safety. With guidance from Tree and the support of her friends, she learns simple strategies like breathing and body awareness to manage big feelings. This gentle story invites readers to join Tia's journey through the labyrinth of friendship, self-discovery, and emotional growth.
In this lesson, students learn what stress is, how it feels in their bodies, and simple ways to calm themselves when they feel overwhelmed. Through movement, breathing, and storytelling, students explore how to recognize stress signals and use a calming strategy called Box Breathing. This lesson helps children reflect on emotions, build self-awareness, and learn to make thoughtful choices.
