Pufferfish Breaths | Breathing Exercises for Calm Kids Self-Regulation (Mindfulness for Kids)

This mindful breathing exercise, «Pufferfish Breaths», teaches kids how to cope when waves of big emotions hit by stretching and breathing like a pufferfish. They will breathe in and feel their belly expand like a balloon, hold the air in their cheeks before exhaling. These mindful activities are perfect for fostering calm kids during morning entry routine, midday meditation to support transitions during class, de-escalation and behavior management, as a positive bedtime routine, or to relax before test prep. Enjoy the soothing and calm underwater ocean scene as you watch the pufferfish animation video and listen to the meditation instructions.
