Summer is the perfect time to slow down, cool off, and build healthy coping skills together. In this episode of The Bridge Podcast, we're exploring how simple summer activities can help children regulate their emotions, calm their nervous systems, and manage big feelings.
From breaking apart a sheet of ice and mindfully enjoying a popsicle to running through sprinklers, we share practical, low-cost ideas that turn everyday summer fun into opportunities for emotional wellness and connection.
Whether you're a parent, caregiver, teacher, or anyone who loves children, you'll walk away with easy, trauma-informed strategies you can use all summer long to help children feel safe, supported, and regulated.
Because sometimes the best way to calm down… is to cool down.
