In the hustle and bustle of today’s world, it’s easy to forget the simple yet profound power that lies within our breath. As adults, we often turn to breathwork for stress relief and inner balance, but have you ever considered introducing this incredible practice to our little ones?

Learning breathing techniques can help children with emotional regulation, stress relief, focus and concentration, self awareness and much more! These benefits can be even more pronounced in children because they are still developing emotionally and physiologically. By introducing and encouraging breathing techniques in children, we help them establish healthy habits that can serve them well throughout their lives, promoting overall well-being and emotional balance.

Here are a few exercises that make breathwork fun and memorable for children to practice:

• 5 Fingers, 5 Breaths - teach them to take 5 deep breaths tracing the outline of their hands. Inhale as you trace up, exhale as you trace down.

• Balloon/Belly Breath - teach them how to breathe properly by expanding their belly on the inhale and contracting on the exhale. (Also known as diaphragmatic breathing)

• Flower/Candle Breath - using the index finger to represent both, inhale the flower and blow out the candle.

• Daniel Tiger Song - taking a deep breath and holding it for a count of four. Breath pauses help to calm the nervous system.

Teaching children the art of conscious breathing can be a gift that lasts a lifetime. Remember that they learn by watching us and our habits. When they see us prioritize our own breath and well-being, they’re more likely to embrace these practices themselves. Show them that taking a moment for deep, mindful breaths is a gift we give ourselves every day.
