Breathe In

Cycle 1

"I am calm and in control"

While Breathing:

  • • Close your eyes if comfortable
  • • Place one hand on your heart
  • • Let tension release with each exhale

After Calming:

  • • Respond from calm, not reaction
  • • Your calm helps your child calm down
  • • It's okay to take more time if needed
