When you are feel stressed or anxious the physical feelings you are having are caused by a release of adrenaline 🌟 'superhero fuel'.

This is our Fight or Flight hormone, it was very useful for our ancestors who had to decide whether to fight or run away from a sabor tooth tiger! 

Nowadays, we are pumping out adrenaline (superhero fuel) even during non life threatening situations.

When our Meerkat part of the brain feels overwhelmed and stressed we need to send it more oxygen to help us feel calm.

We can do this by taking deep and slow breaths.

Practice breathing techniques while your child is calm and happy so that your child can use them when they feel unsettled, angry, worried, or face a stressful situations.

Let’s make breathing so much fun that it becomes an enjoyable activity on its own!
