On Telomeres
on climbing :

  1. Kristen B. (2019). Mental and Emotional Benefits of Kids Climbing. 5.Life – Climbing has taught my kids to believe in themselves, take risks, deal with failures and to never give up, giving them incredible confidence and a sense of community support.5.life

  2. Mayo Clinic Health System (2015). Breathing tips to help children relax. – Deep breathing increases the supply of oxygen to the brain and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a state of calmness (shifting from “fight or flight” to reduced heart rate and lower stress).mayoclinichealthsystem.org

  3. Gaskell, M. (2025). Harmonizing healing: How music helps children overcome trauma. – Music can be a powerful tool for emotional regulation, cognitive resilience and social connection; group musical experiences (like rhythmic drumming or singing) release oxytocin, the “trust hormone,” promoting feelings of safety and belonging among children.smartbrief.comsmartbrief.com

  4. UC Davis Health (2023). Getting outside into nature helps improve your health. – Studies show that being in nature reduces cortisol levels (stress hormone), relaxes muscle tension, and lowers heart rate and blood pressure; exposure to green space also decreases anxiety and improves mood in children and adults.health.ucdavis.eduhealth.ucdavis.edu

  5. Blind Children’s Center (2025). Learning Through Discovery: The Power of Outdoor Play. – Inclusive, sensory-rich outdoor play fosters confidence, independence and joy in children with and without disabilities. A safe outdoor space allows blind and sighted students to run, climb and explore together, engaging in “risk play” under supervision to learn how to assess challenges and make safe choices.blindchildrenscenter.orgblindchildrenscenter.org

  6. Safe Kids Thrive (n.d.). Guidelines for Interactions – Code of Conduct. – Physical contact between adults and youth should always be public, age-appropriate, and non-sexual. Codes of conduct emphasize awareness of the power differential and the importance of appropriate boundaries, using discretion and obtaining permission when touching a child (defining what is appropriate vs. inappropriate touch).safekidsthrive.orgsafekidsthrive.org

  7. UK Office for Health Improvement & Disparities (2022). Working definition of trauma-informed practice. – Trauma-informed practice is guided by six key principles: safety, trust, choice, collaboration, empowerment, and cultural consideration. It calls for creating environments where people feel physically and emotionally safe, building trust through transparency, supporting choice and agency, collaborating with participants, empowering their voice, and being sensitive to cultural and individual contexts to avoid re-traumatization.gov.ukgov.uk

  8. Perkins School for the Blind (n.d.). Climbing to New Heights – Camp Abilities story. – Blind youth climbers rely on touch and feel rather than sight when climbing. With supportive guidance (like feeling the rope’s tension for security and verbal encouragement from peers and instructors), they can push beyond self-doubt and reach the top, resulting in increased confidence and a sense of accomplishment (“This is awesome!”).perkins.orgperkins.org
