"A brain break is just a short break, about five minutes long, that will give your body and mind a rest and help you to reset."
As winter approaches, the residents of the labyrinth are hard at work, preparing for the cold weather. However, when Tia visits Dwight to see how he's doing with his preparations, she discovers he is overcome with frustration! In fact, his overwhelmed thoughts and discouraged attitude cause him to weave a giant hole right in the middle of his grass door. Fortunately, Tia is there to guide Dwight in taking a brain break to physically and mentally reset. After a joyful and laughter-filled dance interlude, the pair begin again with weaving the grass door-together.
Everyone can benefit from taking a brain break at one time or another! When you get frustrated and lose focus, your best bet is to follow Tia and Dwight's example by resting your body and mind for a few minutes. Whether you play a game of tag, color in a coloring book, focus on your breathing, or try some other exercise, this brain break will get you back on track and ready to finish the task at hand. And that's what Dwight's Brain Break is all about! Showcasing key skills, including frustration management, problem solving, and supporting friends, among others, this social emotional learning book is a must-read for any child.
