Settling Routine

Children Centering

We use this settling routine from Ann Arbor (MI) Friends Meeting with all our kids, sometimes omitting a line or two. It’s important to have chairs an appropriate height for all children so their toes can touch the floor. Sitting on the floor with knees bent and feet on the floor is another option. The kids sometimes quietly note that they struggle to lift their toes, but they do all line up and walk into meeting, calmly. Magic!
