Heart Elf Calming Breath Cards

Children’s breathing exercises for releasing tension with finger tracing

The Heart Elf Calming Breath Cards help us to support the development of emotion regulation skills in our child.

• It is important to start learning emotion regulation and emotion management from preschool onwards.
• Many children enter school with performance anxiety and fear of the unknown, or start adoles- cence with anxiety about social situations.

These mindful breathing exercises for tension release with the aid of finger tracing can be useful both in emotionally stressful situations and as a preventa- tive measure. The pack includes 40 practice options for doing this. Managing emotions properly is key to ensuring they are ready for school, can achieve aca- demic success and can maintain their mental health.
