Tissue Breathing offers an excellent way to involve your child in a calming and mindful breathing exercise that can aid in developing self-regulation skills.
This activity entails having your child inhale deeply and then placing a tissue in front of their mouth, encouraging them to exhale with intention to blow the tissue as high as they can. It’s an effective practice for cultivating a tranquil state of mind by focusing on deliberate breaths.
Your child can engage in this exercise when they’re grappling with overwhelming emotions, anxiety, or frustration. Furthermore, it serves as an ideal pre-bedtime ritual to help them unwind and prepare for sleep.
