Learning to recognise and manage our emotions is an important part of children's development. Sometimes, a simple breath can help children pause, reconnect with their bodies and find a sense of calm.
The Dianna.K Breath Tools for Children Series has been thoughtfully created to introduce children to simple, playful breathing techniques that support emotional wellbeing, self-regulation and body awareness.
Through engaging visual prompts and child-friendly activities, children are encouraged to explore different ways of breathing, helping them develop practical strategies they can draw upon during everyday experiences.
The series supports children to:
Recognise and respond to their emotions.
Develop awareness of their breathing and body.
Explore calming strategies through playful experiences.
Build confidence in managing challenging moments.
Develop everyday self-regulation capabilities.
Featuring imaginative techniques such as Hot Chocolate Breathing, Zipper Breathing, Petal Breathing and Candle Breathing, the series makes breathing exercises accessible, meaningful and enjoyable for young children.
Designed for use by families, early childhood educators and professionals supporting children, these resources can be incorporated into daily routines, quiet spaces, transitions or moments when children need additional support.
The series recognises that self-regulation develops through connection, co-regulation, practice and supportive relationships.
Children don't need to be calm to begin learning self-regulation. They need opportunities to explore strategies alongside adults who support and understand them.
