Why teach breathing techniques to children

Mindful breathing helps us to feel calmer, more focused, and better able to make thoughtful decisions about what to do next. Mindful breathing also improves self-control, problem-solving skills, self-awareness, attention, memory, and even sleep.

By learning to first focus on our own breathing, we can begin the mindfulness practice. Use these breathing technique cards and posters to concretely and visually allow children to understand what it means to control our breathing. The breathing techniques include:

  • Balloon belly
  • Bubble breath
  • Dragon fire breathing
  • Elephant breathing
  • Bumble Bee breathing
  • Lazy 8 breathing
  • Square breathing
  • Rainbow breathing
