"When you learn to take a few deep breaths and pay attention to how you are feeling, it helps you make healthy choices, like giving your body what it needs and taking breaks when you're hot and tired."

With Dwight's help and Tree's wisdom, Tia discovers the importance of pausing and the value of observing her body and mind. Embark on this insightful journey, where self-awareness guides Tia toward healthier choices.
In this lesson, students learn how to use their five senses-seeing, hearing, smelling, tasteing, and touching-to stay present and understand what is happening inside their bodies and minds. Through the story Tia Takes a Pause, students see how stopping to notice physical and emotional clues helps Tia make healthy choices. Students practice pausing, observing, and recording their own observations using an investigation chart.
