How To Teach Your Child Calm Breathing

Calm breathing is a technique that teaches children to slow down their breathing when feeling stressed or anxious.

It is an important tool to learn because when a child is feeling anxious, their breathing will change. When we are anxious, we tend to take short, quick, shallow breaths or even hyperventilate. This type of anxious breathing can make the feeling of anxiety worse. Doing calm breathing can help lower your child’s anxiety, and give them a sense of control.
