Teaching Self-Regulation


It is important to take a break and relax during the school day.


     Children in Miss Sweet's class take 3 minutes each school day to lay down, relax their muscles and practice breathing in through their noses and out through their mouths.  It sounds simple but it requires practice!  Many children try to pant or do quick breaths, those are not relaxing breaths.  


These children are doing the Drain Breath.


Ask your children about the different breaths that they have learned and let them teach you.  You may need to use them some day to calm down and relax.
