The Power of Humming as a Regulation Technique

A second grade teacher created a visualization for students to hang their 'invisible armor' on a coat rack when entering the class and put it back on when leaving to ensure their safety. When feeling fear or anxiety, the teacher advises going to the bathroom, breathing, and humming melodies to dissociate from the fear. Humming helps regulate emotions by shifting focus away from negative thoughts and creating a sense of calm.
