Ready...Set...R.E.L.A.X. A
Researched Based Program of Relaxation, Learning and Self Esteem for Children is
fully researched and is used across the country by teachers, counselors,
parents, and medical professionals as a preventive tool and intervention
strategy. Easy to use and includes follow-up activities and discussion questions.
It is based on a two year research project teaching children 5 to 12 years
old positive self-talk, relaxation and cognitive coping strategies.
The objectives of the program include:
- Teaching children the role of anxiety and relaxation
and recognizing the physical signs of stress.
- Helping children identify the stressors in their lives
and equipping them with problem solving responses and skills to initiate
the relaxation response.
- Developing an appreciation of healing music.
Results of the two year pilot program indicated significant gains in the
experimental group’s achievement scores and self-esteem and significant
decreases in self-report of depression and anxiety.
The 66 scripts focus
on te following themes:
R = Releasing Tension
E = Enjoying Life
L = Learning
A = Appreciating Others
X = X-panding Your Knowledge
Ready...Set...Release!

The program

children the foundation of relaxation from which to build. The 15 tracks
include all of the relaxation scripts from the Ready…Set…R.E.L.A.X. book
as well as a brief relaxation script and a script intended to reduce test
