INTEROCEPTION

What is interoception? Interoception is our eighth sense.
​At Fairview Park Primary we believe that ALL students will benefit from participating in interoception activities.  There are many positives to teaching interoception in schools.
  • To help children/students connect to and learn to understand their own body and emotions
  • It is a pre‐requisite skill for self‐management and self‐regulation. It provides children/students with the tools to know when they are developing emotional reactions and the skills to be in control of those reactions
  • Without interoception, social skills are just the application of rules and not a meaningful way of interacting – it enables students to develop a sense of belonging
Classrooms where interoception is being taught have decreasing behavioural challenges over the school year and those where it is not have static or increasing behavioural challenges (school wide behaviour reporting analysis).

What is an interoception activity?
An interoceptive activity focuses on creating and noticing a change in some aspect of one’s internal self, such as one’s muscular system, breathing, temperature, pulse or touch. Students/children/adults with poor interoception are not able to identify the physiological changes that signal mood changes or bodily self‐regulation needs. Interoception activities teach us to connect with these.

At Fairview Park Primary, class teachers have all committed to teaching interoception TWICE a day EVERY DAY.  Interoception will take place immediately after recess and lunch time.
