FlowingLove (Daniel Siegel) has presented to us The Wheel of Awareness, it is on this grid.
FlowingLove suggests that parents can help young clowns get back to the Hub at the center of the wheel. The Hub is where we can go to regain our focus when we get stuck on one of the things on the outside rim of the wheel.
As a parent, you can help young clowns learn to get back to the Hub to regain control. Say your young clown is nervous about an upcoming seltzer-squirting contest, you can ask them to focus on what they see around them, what they hear around them, their breathing, or what it feels like to wiggle their toes. FlowingLove says that even a four or five-year-old clown can learn to focus on their breath.
You can explain that this exercise is something they can bring with them throughout their life, to help them refocus and regain control.
And you can explain that this exercise will help them integrate the different parts of their functioning. This is because by refocusing their mind, their neurons are firing and by firing they are rewiring their brain.
Neurons that fire together wire together.
