Calm Senses Series Ep. 4 - Notice Sensations

Calm Senses Series Ep. 4 - Notice Sensations

Learning to listen to the body

In this episode, children practise noticing sensations in their bodies — such as warmth, movement, breathing, or relaxation.

This skill helps build interoceptive awareness, which is the ability to notice internal body signals.

By gently exploring sensations in their hands, shoulders, breath, and feet, children begin to understand the messages their bodies send throughout the day.

Parent & Teacher Notes

Developing this awareness helps children recognise when their bodies need movement, rest, or calming strategies.

Interoceptive awareness supports:

• emotional regulation• self-awareness• attention and focus• recognising early signs of stress or fatigue

Some children will notice sensations easily, while others may notice very little. Both responses are normal.

Encourage curiosity with prompts such as:

  • “What do you notice?”

  • “Does anything feel different?”

  • “Your body might notice something different next time.”

Children may move while noticing sensations, which is expected and acceptable.

This activity can be used:

• before learning tasks• after recess• during emotional resets• as part of calming routines
