Calm Senses Series Ep. 3 - Choose Your Breath

Exploring different ways to breathe

In this episode, children discover that there are many ways to breathe, and they get to choose what works best for their body.

Rather than teaching one “correct” breathing technique, children explore several gentle options such as slow nose breathing, breathing out through the mouth, “cooling soup” breaths, or quiet “sleeping kitten” breaths.

Choice-based breathing helps children feel more comfortable with regulation practices and encourages them to develop their own calming strategies.

Parent & Teacher Notes

Children are encouraged to explore breathing in ways that feel comfortable.

They may choose to:

• breathe through the nose• breathe through the mouth• watch their chest or belly move instead of controlling breath• rock or sway while breathing• participate briefly

All responses are valid.

Choice-based breathing is particularly supportive for neurodivergent learners, as it reduces pressure and increases engagement.

This activity is helpful:

• before focused work• during emotional regulation moments• before sleep routines• when children feel anxious or overwhelmed
