According to @drbelisa, creator of #thebreathingclass, "Poor posture can affect your ability to breath by up to 30%." 😳 ⁠

A helpful tool to explain how our thoughts can be overwhelming and how we can give our brain a break by “letting our glitter settle” This is why I developed a one-of-a-kind breathing tool to help kids have fun while developing this vital life skill. 🧡⁠STEP 5: Add one drop of food coloring in a color that compliments the color of the glitter that you used. Mix well. Building Resilience: Life is full of challenges, and building resilience early on is crucial. Teaching breathwork to children instills a sense of resilience by providing them with a tool to navigate difficulties. As they face various situations, breathing mindfully can empower them to approach challenges with a calm and composed mindset.⁠

STEP 8: Secure the lid and give the bottle a few vigorous shakes to test it out. Once the bubbles subside, add more hot water if you want the glitter to settle faster. Exhale: Exhale slowly, like you're blowing gently on a feather. Let go of any heavy thoughts or worries. 🌬️🌼⁠Habits and Training: Our habits and practices, such as singing, playing wind instruments, or certain breathing exercises, can shape our breathing patterns and make them unique to us.⁠ Visually captivating: The vibrant colours and swirling glitter within each tube create a captivating visual display that sparks curiosity and imagination, ensuring hours of endless fascination. Using the 5 Senses ~Many sensory activities include a few of the senses! Touch, sight, sounds, taste, (where appropriate), and smell are the 5 senses. Kids can experience several senses at a time with a sensory bin or sensory play recipe.

Our daily activities, exercise routines, and overall lifestyle can impact our breathing patterns. For example, athletes may have different breathing habits compared to sedentary individuals.⁠ Dive into a world of captivating play with our Large Sensory Tubes! Designed to engage and soothe, these tubes are more than just sensory toys. They are the perfect tool for promoting focus and attention in children who crave that extra something to keep them engaged. Whether your little one needs a calming influence or has special needs, our Sensory Tubes are here to add a touch of wonder and enchantment to their playtime adventures. Language Development ~ Sensory play increases language development by experiencing all there is to see and do with their hands, which leads to great conversations and opportunities to model language. Emotional Regulation: Teaching children breathwork gives them a powerful tool for emotional regulation. By learning to control their breath, kids can develop a greater awareness of their emotions and learn how to respond calmly to challenging situations. This skill can be invaluable in navigating the ups and downs of childhood.⁠ STEP 6: Add additional drops of food coloring until the mixture reaches your desired hue. It’s fun to mix colors too!Make it your own! If you want to breathe in through your mouth or hum while you exhale, go for it. 🎶😌⁠ Reduce Stress: Kids can tap into a natural stress-relief mechanism by simply breathing mindfully. It's like a mini vacation for their minds!⁠ Breath awareness is the first step to self-awareness, and the BE Buddy® is the perfect companion to help kids build awareness daily. ⁠
