A Simple Breathing Exercise for Kids that's Perfect for St. Patrick's Day
Shamrocks are a given at St. Patrick's Day.
So if one was going to make a St. Patrick's Day themed deep breathing technique, it had to feature a shamrock in some way, shape, or form. That's a given, right?
This exercise gives kids the chance to perform three big deep breaths. But they can always repeat more as needed, obviously.
