Breathing Exercises

Breathing Exercises gives children a guided way to practise paying attention to their breath. It introduces breathing as something to try when feelings get big and they need a moment to slow down.

Follow the on-screen guidance and try the breathing activity. The introduction explains how placing a hand on your belly can help you notice it move as you breathe. The interactive module gives you a chance to practise along with the prompts.

Children can explore the activity with a family member, carer or educator. Use it as a starting point for talking about feelings and practising breathing together, at a pace that feels comfortable.
