Lets talk about stress. With the current landscape surrounding child care and Covid-19, this is more important than ever. Although positive stress like trying out for a sports team, first day of school, or meeting new friends can lead to resilience, tolerable and toxic stress can have a harmful affects on our children's bodies. As parents, we need to talk to our children about stress and how to manage their emotions and feelings in a healthy way. Teaching deep breathing exercises at an early age can help your child better manage their stress levels as they get older.
The benefits include:
- Reduced anxiety
- Improved focus
- Sense of calm
Bubble breathing is a great activity to teach deep breathing with younger children. You can have a fun exercise by pausing one or two seconds before blowing another bubble.
