Children Massaging Children programme

This is a programme that offers a safe, professional and educational environment, giving children the chance to alter their behaviour and turn bad memories into positive ones.

Children Massaging Children programme has been designed for primary school teachers, taking into account HAUORA (a New Zealand term for physical, emotional, spiritual and social well-being). It is a structured massage lesson based on three songs with three different massage techniques; back, hand and head massage. Within this 35-minute lesson, children massage each other under supervision of a certified instructor. The instructor can be either from Child Connection or can be a teacher from the school who completed one of our Courses.

Children Massaging Children programme offers great benefits for children and teachers:

• Relieve stress
• Create happy and healthy school atmosphere
• Eliminate physical aggression
• Build awareness of feelings and needs of others
• Very beneficial for special needs children, e.g. blind and autistic
