About this kōrero
When breathwork and mindfulness doesn't work, how can we support our tamariki with their Big Maui Energy? Every tamaiti is different—what works for one won’t always work for another. This māmā shares how movement and connection helped their pōtiki navigate big emotions when other strategies didn’t.
Our tūpuna valued each child’s uniqueness. Their wisdom reminds us to be adaptable — even if that means a few rounds of pillow boxing!
