Fostering positive relationships in classrooms with daily breathing exercises
A study conducted in Germany with elementary school students discovered that incorporating daily breathing exercises in classrooms could potentially help foster positive relationships among peers.
These activities seemed to promote helpful and cooperative behavior specifically in girls, but not in boys. Nonetheless, this impact seemed to decrease after five months once the intervention had concluded.
Being involved in social groups, sports teams, and work groups is important for the well-being and academic success of schoolchildren.
A study conducted in Germany found that 18% of primary school children face emotional issues, often due to bullying and other aggressive behaviors from their peers.
Studies have shown that being victimized by classmates can result in negative consequences such as anxiety, decreased participation in school, and lower academic achievements.
