World Breathing Day

April 11th is World Breathing Day! Take a moment to breathe deeply and mindfully. At Kindercare Psychology, we know that conscious breathing can be a powerful tool for stress relief and mental well-being. Let’s breathe together towards a calmer, more mindful life. #WorldBreathingDay #MentalHealthMatters #BreathingForWellness”

Bubble Breathing:

Blowing gently to create bubbles is a good way to be playful and breathe deeply. Kids have to blow carefully and slowly to make the bubbles.

LAZY 8 Breathing:

Start with the eight on its side and start in the middle.

Go up to the left and trace the left part of the 8 with your finger while you breathe in.

When you get to the middle of the eight again, breathe out while you trace the right part of the 8 with your finger.

Bumblebee Breathing:

Breathe in and pretend you are smelling a flower. As you breathe out, make humming bee sound. Try different ways of making the sound – longer or shorter, high or low sounds.
