Silly Breathing
Oct 08, 2020
Dear Parent,
Teach your child to breathe into emotional regulation. It goes like this:
Kids, on the count of three, let's all take a deep breath together. Ready?
Okay, one...two...three...breathe in, in, in, in with your nose, hold it, hold it...
And now blow it out through your mouth, out, out, out until you don't have any air left.
Then, parents, fall to the floor laughing. Be silly. Silly is the language of children.
Okay, let's do it again. On the count of three... Oh you don't want to do it...? That's okay, watch me...breathing is delicious! One, two, three...
Humor will save your life. Trust me.
Love matters,
Ce
