Breathing Techniques

Here is a great (and adorable!) video explaining three of our main breathing techniques in the Purple Room! We have been learning and practicing Drain Breaths, Balloon Breaths, and Pretzel Breaths this week. The fourth breath we have learned is a Star Breath: Smile, Take A deep breath, and Relax. I encourage you to watch this video with your child, and practice them together! When your child becomes very excited or overwhelmed, you can try one of these breaths and see how it goes. Your child might even suggest which type of breath that they would like to choose. Let us know how it goes at pick up or drop off, we would love to hear more about it!
