Breathing Wheel

Mindful Breathing for kids

This Breathing Wheel is a fun way to help guide children to a relaxing and mindful breathing exercise. As they turn the wheel with their finger they follow the prompt: Breathe in for 4 seconds, Hold for 2 seconds and Breathe out for 4 seconds. They can repeat as long as they need.

Mindful breathing is an excellent way for kids to find calm and connect with their bodies when they are feeling stressed. They can use this practice anytime to help when they feel overwhelmed

“Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile.” 

—Thich Nhat Hanh
