Coming Home Together

A Warm Welcome for the Grown-Up

Welcome into the Children’s Room.

This is a soft, playful space where little feet wander, curious hands explore, and big hearts are quietly learning what it means to belong.

If you are here, it means you care. And that care, more than any activity or lesson, is already doing something beautiful. Nothing here needs to be done perfectly.

This is simply an invitation to slow down, notice, and come home together, through shared moments of presence and care.

This Month’s Gentle Theme

Coming Home to Yourself

For little ones, coming home to themselves is not about thinking or understanding. It is about feeling safe in their bodies. Feeling held by the ground beneath their feet. Feeling like they belong, exactly as they are.

This month carries the energy of settling in. Of remembering that home is not just a place, but a feeling. A feeling that lives in the body, in the breath, and in the quiet moments we share with the Earth each day.

For children and caregivers alike, this is an invitation into coming home together, through shared presence rather than explanation.

A Simple Shared Experience

Feeling Held by the Earth

Purpose

To help children feel safe, supported, and connected through their bodies and the living Earth beneath them.

What You Need

Nothing at all. Just a few quiet minutes together.

Steps

1. Invite your child to lie down on the floor, the grass, or the ground outside. You may lie down beside them if that feels right.

2. Gently suggest noticing how the Earth or floor is holding their body. Their back. Their legs. Their head.

3. Take one slow breath together. Then another. There is no need to count or control it.

4. You might softly say something like, “The Earth is holding you. You don’t have to do anything.”

5. Rest together for a moment, even if it is only a few breaths long.

Time

One to three minutes is more than enough.

Optional Add-On

If your child wants to move afterward, let them. Stretch like a tree, roll like a stone, or stand up and feel their feet on the ground. Let the body decide what comes next.

A Little Conversation Prompt

If it feels natural, you might gently ask:

• “How did your body feel when it was resting on the ground?”

• “Did anything feel cozy or calm?”

• “Do you think the Earth likes holding us?”

There are no right answers. Listening is the most important part.

A Little Light Lesson (For You)

Moments like this help children build a quiet sense of safety and belonging that lives in the body, not just the mind. When children feel supported physically, their nervous systems learn that rest is safe and that they are not alone.

This is what coming home to yourself looks like at a young age. Not learning something new but remembering something very old.

That the Earth is steady.

That support is already here.

That they belong.

Letting This Continue Naturally

If experiences like this feel nourishing, you may enjoy visiting The Living Earth Playground, a gentle space connected to the Children’s Room.

It offers simple, Earth-centered ways for caregivers and children to move, notice, rest, and create together all in the same spirit of ease and connection.

There is no schedule to follow and no expectation to do everything. It is simply a place to let this way of being continue, in whatever rhythm feels right for your family.

A Sweet Closing Blessing

May the little ones in your life feel held, safe, and welcome in their bodies and on this Earth, and may your shared moments become quiet ways of coming home together.
