Let's take a look at different ways that we can slow down with our kids to savor the moment together.
I recently discovered a book called "Breathe Like a Bear" by Kira Willey. It is full of ideas for ways to teach little ones to breathe! Kira is also a songwriter. Check out her music on your favorite music player! I've been enjoying "Bunny Breath" and others! A few of her strategies include:
Pretending that we are drinking hot chocolate, taking sips and saying a long "mmmm" or slowly blowing it to cool it down.
Pretending that we are hibernating bears taking long, slow, sleepy breaths.
David Kisor also has some great songs like "Breathe" and "Smell the Flower, Blow the Candle Out"
I like to teach little ones to breathe by blowing bubbles and trying to see how big we can blow them!
