This rainbow breathing looks interesting! I’m interested in it. Thank you!
I rarely use interactive resources and pay more attention to games and techniques without equipment. But these are good ideas that I think will interest children more.
Agreed…although I think it would make more sense to start with shorter breaths and then get longer.
I just happened to find this resource, and I loved all the resources! I teach in a middle school special education classroom and these are great resources to start with calming strategies!!
Thank you!!
This is very cool!
