Back-to-School Day Wellness: Week 7 – Focus

Focus for the win! Whether it’s during school or after, kids are always learning new concepts and need to be able to focus on tasks. Teach your kids how to use the Focus Roll-On recipe featured in the graphic. Instruct them to roll on their neck and wrists and to inhale when they need help focusing.

 

If your school does not allow your child to keep essential oils roll-ons in their backpack or at their desk, you can try two alternatives.

 

  1.  Have the school nurse hold on to the roll-on. Your children can go see her when they need to apply the Focus Roll-On.
  2. Apply one drop of each oil to their diffuser bracelet before they leave for school. Instruct them to smell the bracelet before important focus times like after recess and lunch, and before tests.

Popular Oils for Focus

  • Lavender* – Inhaling Lavender essential oil during recess can increase concentration when back to the classroom.
  • Lemon**
  • Peppermint**
  • Thieves**
  • Cedarwood
  • Vetiver
  • Rosemary
  • Brain Power
  • Gathering
*Comes in the PSK
** Comes in the PSK as a Vitality oil.

 

Bonus Tips

  1. Play around with different oils to see which may be more effective. Every child can respond differently.
  2. Use these oils along with the “stay calm” blend for extra effect.
  3. Diffuse or apply Lemon to your child’s diffuser bracelet during study time. Apply Lemon again before tests.
I have heard that smelling the Lemon oil during a test will help them recall information they retained the last time they smelled Lemon while studying.

 

  • Who here is planning to steal their kids’ focus rollers to use for themselves?
