Managing Big Emotions

When children don’t have the ability to express themselves with words, they show us with their behavior. Kids need help learning how to deal with emotions in healthy ways. Teaching coping skills, like deep breathing, can help children manage their emotions and build resilience, so they can handle life’s ups and downs.  

Unlike normal breathing, taking deep breaths encourages us to slow down and pay attention to our body as we inhale and exhale. This relaxation exercise can help improve our ability to focus and better handle our emotions by lowering our heart rate, allowing our muscles to relax, and calming the mind and body.
