Flower Breathing
For the past six years, Flower Breathing has been one of the tools I keep coming back to. I've used it in therapy sessions, classrooms, groups, and most recently with students experiencing test anxiety.
The flower gives children a simple way to follow their breath, but what I've found is that the breathing is only part of it. Like any regulation strategy, it works best when it's woven into moments of connection. 💙 I introduce it PLAYfully, breathe WITH children, and give them time to experience it when they're calm rather than waiting until they're overwhelmed.
Over time, the flower becomes familiar. Children know what it feels like because they've experienced it with someone else first. Then, when distress shows up, they have something they already know how to do. Familiarity makes all the difference..
