Family Relax – shared relaxation for parents and children

What is Family Relax?

Family Relax is a lovingly designed parent-child activity for children aged 3 to 7 and their parent. During about 45 minutes of mindfulness and calm, families experience gentle exercises, massages, stories, and a creative final activity with a wow effect.
The goal: to calm body and mind, enjoy closeness, and strengthen the family bond.
Each session has a special theme. In autumn, for example, squirrel stories accompany us – stories that invite smiles, empathy, and participation.

Small hands, big impact

A key part of Family Relax are the partner massages:
• First, the child massages the parent, taking responsibility for their well-being.
• Then the roles switch, and the parent gives their child relaxing touches.
Both experience closeness, trust, and the importance of mindfulness and boundaries. Especially for children exposed to many stimuli in everyday life, the often-overlooked sense of touch is consciously nurtured.

Letting go of stress through play
With exercises like the “shaking tree,” children learn to release restlessness and nervousness. Stress and worries are symbolically “shaken off” like apples falling from a tree. After the shaking comes a moment of silence – and suddenly, everyone feels light and free.

Breathing exercises for inner peace
With “My cuddly toy wants to rest,” children discover abdominal breathing. Their cuddly toy gently rocks up and down on their tummy – a simple, soothing exercise that relaxes and can even help with falling asleep at home.

Magical moments of wonder
Each session ends with a wow effect: a creative craft idea or a small experiment. Whether it’s a colorful rainbow meditation or a paper flower that opens in water, these moments make Family Relax truly special. They gift parents and children a sense of shared wonder to take home.

Family Relax is a precious break for the whole family!
Family Relax is more than just an activity – it’s an invitation to leave the rush of everyday life behind, to be present, and to enjoy moments of calm, warmth, and joy together.
At Feuerstein, we believe: families who relax together grow closer together.
