"Physical spaces can have a powerful influence on how children reach
their full potential by improving one's quality of life, promote
learning, inspire creativity, and encourage feelings of security,"
states Feng Shui Master Nancilee Wydra in her book,
Feng
Shui for Children's Spaces .

Feng Shui at Home
=> Desk Placement: At home one might have a desk in an
area where the parent is readily available during study time for
assistance and monitoring. => If you have a student who
is moving into a dorm or if you are that student, take some green with
you. Green helps with feelings of being estranged from all that is
familiar. In addition, colors in the orange family, like peach or
coral, can help bring people into your room if you are wanting to make
friends faster. Orange is the color of community and relationships.

=> If your student is having trouble sleeping because of anxiety, try
using a small amount of yellow or orange and a larger amount of blue in
the bedroom. You can bring those colors in easily through the use of
linens and sleepwear!

Feng Shui at School
=> It's no accident that school pencils are yellow!
Yellow helps us all assimilate things like what we are reading and what
we are learning! A wise teacher will keep a bit of yellow in the
classroom throughout the year. But don't overdo as too much yellow can
create agitation and anxiety. Touches here and there are perfect.

=> When there are public speaking assignments, as a
teacher, be sure to have some blue in the room to support your budding
orators! Place it across from where they are speaking so that it is
within their view as they speak. As a student, you might want to wear
blue on a day when your speech is due! Or if you have trouble speaking
up in class and feel nervous about it, wear blue. Yes, blue jeans
count! So do blue socks and other bits of clothing!
