Progressive Muscle Relaxation for Children
These exercises help you to learn how to relax when you're feeling up-tight and help you get rid of those butterflies-in-your-stomach kinds of feelings. They're also kind of neat because you can learn how to do some of them without anyone really noticing.

Relaxation therapy
The use of a relaxation programme can be a very powerful instrument for change. If you decide to use this technique it is crucial that it is done at least six times per week. It is a useful tool when dealing with children who are anxious either generally or in a specific context such as exam rooms. It is useful when dealing with children who tend to present regular or occasional acts of extreme anger in the wrong context and when anger is an inappropriate reaction to the offence if used as part of an anger management programme.

Relaxation, Guided Imagery, and Visualization Techniques
Children with ADD/ADHD are often in a state of stress in school. It is therapeutic to teach them strategies (at home, school, or in private therapy) to help them calm down and relax. Hyperactive/impulsive children, in particular, gain the most from learning techniques that relax their minds and bodies, recognize their internal feelings, and release inner tension. These strategies empower children with a feeling of peace and self-control.
