At My Friend Breath we believe that play is the best way for a child to learn and thrive. Which is why our books and resources use a fun game to teach children how to regulate their emotions.
The say-and-do game is a simple, yet impactful way for children to practice the skill of emotional-regulation through mindful breathing. This easy-to-recall strategy helps them to understand when, why, what, and how to use their breath to change the way they feel.
Change Your Breath, Change Your Emotion!
Things happen in life that cause a child to feel a rainbow of different emotions. Sometimes they feel calm, whilst other times they feel upset, angry, or anxious. Experiencing these feelings can be overwhelming and have an impact on their attitude and behaviour.
Being a kid isn’t always easy
And being an adult isn’t easy either!
Especially when you're trying to help a child understand and process their emotions and feelings, whilst also processing your own.
Often you don't know what to say or do to help! It's ok, we've got you :)
We help by making emotional-regulation and resilience skills easy for adults to teach, and fun for kids to learn!
Our My Friend Breath books and resources simplify the practice of mindful breathing, and empower children to play the say-and-do game to help change the way they feel, anytime, anywhere.
