Two areas that I have been helping my kids to practice and develop a lot over the past couple of years are mindfulness and deep breathing.
I'm a big fan of teaching both of these skills.
In fact, they have both already had a tremendous impact on my kids' ability to cope with anxiety and self-regulate. And even I use these tools myself because even adults need some help with self-regulation, right?
This Halloween themed deep breathing exercise is so cute. More importantly though, this technique is simple to teach and easy to implement.
Teach Your Kids this Halloween Themed Deep Breathing Technique
Have you heard of triangle breathing before? Well, it was the inspiration for this ghostly breathing exercise.
It's a simple and straightforward technique that even the littlest of kids can do. No trickery involved. And definitely no spooky imagery is involved. Instead it's just a super calm and adorable ghost coaching your kids to do a little deep breathing. Bonus, he even looks like he is taking in a deep breath, don't you think?
Anyway, this ghost breathing is a nice twist on the classic triangle breathing exercise.
