Breathing Techniques for Anxious Kids

We are sharing two free resources from our Scared Kids Helping Children Cope with Anxiety Online Course by David Coleman.  There's a video and an audio download of a breathing technique for you to teach a child to help switch off adrenaline. This practice is specifically about getting extra oxygen into the system. Once there's extra oxygen there the heart gets the message "I can slow down now". You may find it helpful to use this technique for your own personal anxiety or stress too. As outlined in the audio, practise is really important so that this technique becomes an automatic experience. We hope you find this helpful for you and your children.
