breathing

Flower Breaths:

Provide your child a fragrant, colorful flower and tell him to breathe in through the nose and breathe out through the mouth. Flower breaths help release tension. Offer a flower like daffodils, daisies, and roses.

Hissing Breaths:

Hissing breaths help with physical and mental relaxation. Teach your child to breathe in through the nose. Make him inhale a deep breath, and then ask him to exhale through the mouth, while making a hissing sound like a snake. Prolonging the exhalation will help with relaxation.
