Belly Breathing

A calming exercise to help kids relax and focus with deep belly breaths.

Step 1: Get Comfortable

Find a cozy spot to sit or lie down. Close your eyes and place your hands on your belly.

Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose. Feel your belly rise like a balloon as you inhale.

Now, slowly exhale through your mouth, letting the air out gently. Feel your belly fall as you breathe out.

Continue to breathe in and out slowly, focusing on how your belly moves with each breath. Try it for a few minutes to calm your mind!
