Stress and anxiety are connected to physical sensations in our bodies. The relaxation skill of paced belly breathing helps us turn down these unpleasant physical sensations, which helps us to feel calm and in control. For example, Molly the Hedgehog was feeling nervous during her dance competition. She felt many unpleasant physical sensations in her body. Thanks to her friend Hanna the Turtle, Molly used paced belly breathing to calm her body and turn down her nervousness so she could complete the competition.

Encourage your elementary schooler to watch this video of kids talking about their emotions. Even better — watch it with your child and discuss these key findings together:

1️⃣ Belly breathing is breathing slowly and deeply at a steady pace. By slowing their inhales and extending their exhales, your child can use their breath to harness control of their emotions.
2️⃣ Belly breathing balances out the carbon dioxide and oxygen in kids' bodies, cutting off their fight, flight, or freeze response. It returns their mind and body to a calmer state.

Whether the loss is a grandparent, a parent, a classmate or even a beloved family pet, the grieving process can be difficult and every child will grieve in his own way. Teenagers are capable of abstract thought and have a much more “adult” concept of death.

Positive, responsive, language-rich interactions during a child’s first years support healthy brain development that critically influences executive function and attention and leads to social and learning skills. One of the best interactions to support healthy brain development is reading aloud to your baby! Consider these tips when choosing books to read aloud to your baby.

To be able to identify a reading problem in their child, parents need to have a sense of the milestones of early literacy. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s literacy development, talk with your child’s doctor, teacher, or a speech and language specialist. The sooner your child gets the help they need, the easier it will be for your child to learn.

Middle school can be a stressful time for adolescents. While managing more challenging workload demands, they also grapple with anxiety brought on by larger issues like forming their identity and gaining independence. These emotions can be difficult to experience but are easier with relaxation skills. As highlighted in the video, stress and anxiety often produce physical sensations due to our flight, fight, or freeze response. Effective relaxation skills like paced belly breathing help to calm the body and turn down the intensity of that emotion.

Encourage your middle schooler to watch this video about emotions. Even better — watch it with your middle schooler and discuss these key findings together:

1️⃣ Belly breathing is breathing slowly and deeply at a steady pace. By slowing their inhales and extending their exhales, your child can use their breath to harness control of their emotions.
2️⃣ Belly breathing balances out the carbon dioxide and oxygen in kids' bodies, cutting off their fight, flight, or freeze response. It returns their mind and body to a calmer state.

Don't Panic About Panic Attacks!
They're scary, but here's why they're not dangerous:
Panic attacks are intense fear responses, not actual attacks.
Your body is reacting strongly, but there's no real threat.

Remember, panic attacks are scary but not dangerous. You can get through them! Do not hesitate to contact your doctor if you are experiencing severe symptoms.
