From the September chat
Teachers tried it in class the next morning.
“We did the Tapping practice and it brought them back to their core of attention.”
“I taught just the breathing from the first session. The kids loved it.”
“Taught tapping and did a 2 word check in to start and end our day.”
“Was so useful in my classroom, and my students bought in 100%.”
“Breathing and grounding… Only one eyeball roll and he was the one causing the chaos.”
Posted live in the Zoom chat at our September conference, Sept 22–24, 2026.
