Considering it's -46 C as I type this, I think it's a perfectly good time to share this winter deep breathing exercise for kids.
After all, nothing beats a good warm toque (aka winter hat) on a cold winter day. Except for maybe hibernating. But let's be honest, that's not really an option. These temperatures are a regular occurrence during the winter months on the Canadian prairies.
So when your kids complain about yet another indoor recess and are easily frustrated because they haven't been getting the body breaks outdoors they need, then you'll want to pull out this free mindfulness poster to help your kids cope and self-regulate.
