Breathing for Calm

Help kids find their "calm" with this easy-to-use breathing toolkit.

Is your child or student struggling with big emotions? Whether it’s "fight or flight" anxiety, anger, or just a case of the wiggles, these differentiated worksheets explain the why behind deep breathing and provide fun, visual ways to practice it.

This pack moves beyond "just take a breath" by giving kids physical shapes to trace, which grounds their senses and focuses their minds.

• Star Breathing: A classic favorite for tracing points and holding the breath.
• Box Breathing: The "Square" method used by athletes and even Navy SEALs to regain focus.
• Figure-8 (Lazy 8) Breathing: A rhythmic, continuous flow that’s perfect for calming a racing heart.
• Age-Differentiated Explainers: Two versions of the "Science of Breathing" (Simple for ages 4-7, and Detailed for ages 8-12).

Perfect For:

• Parents looking for a "Calm Down Corner" addition.
• Teachers needing social-emotional learning (SEL) resources.
• Therapists & Counselors working on self-regulation and anxiety management.
