Múinteoir Clíona's guide to finding your inner calm

With so many parents continuing to work from home this year, it's important to establish a good routine at home for kids and grown-ups alike.

To lend a helping hand, After School Hub provides an hour of fun-filled afterschool activities for primary school kids every weekday at 3:20pm on RTÉ2. Watch it back on RTÉ Player.

Múinteoirí John, Ray, and Cliona deliver a huge range of educational activities for kids to participate in, including music lessons, science experiments, dance, singing, drama, and arts & crafts.

Today, we're sharing Clíona Ní Chiosáin's guide to mindfulness and finding our inner peace.

"It's very important to take a moment to be mindful every day as I know there is a lot of uncertainty and worry around at the moment," says Clíona.

Instead of ignoring our worries or trying to empty our minds, it may be more helpful to put all our attention and focus on something within our control. For example, a colourful glitter jar!

To create your very own glitter jar you will need:

  • A clear jar with a  lid (an old jam jar will do the trick!)
  • Water
  • Paint 
  • Paintbrush
  • Glitter 
  • Tape
