My Body Feels Slow

👀

1. What does the body look like?

Choose the closest clue. This helps kids learn body signals.

Tap a body clue above.
Parent script: “Your body is giving us a clue. Let’s listen before we push harder.”
🩺

2. Check body needs

Slow can mean tired, hungry, thirsty, sick, overloaded, or needing quiet.

Choose one body need.
Safety first: sudden fatigue, pain, illness, eating changes, sleep changes, weakness, or unusual shutdown should be discussed with a medical professional.
🌱

3. Wake the body gently

Use small movement. The goal is alert, not wild.

Pick one gentle wake up activity.
Kid words: “My body was slow. Movement helped it wake up.”

4. Come back to one tiny step

Do not jump into the whole task. Make the next step visible.
