Abstract
"We all have big feelings. Some feel amazing. Some feel very uncomfortable. And most capture our attention, making it hard to focus on anything else. That's where breathing comes in." (From forward by Dr. Suzy)
Now, You're Peaceful and You Know It: A Little Breathing Book for Big Feelings was written to help children (and adults, too!) notice, understand, and label big feelings and learn to use controlled breathing to help shift them.
Children can learn to breathe like a lion, a clam, or a whale (and more!) and feel as peace spreads through every exhale!
Targets eight child-friendly emotions or states and matching breathing practices: scared/brace, sad/happy, busy/slow, shy/proud, sleepy/energized, mad/cool, worried/calm, confused/wise.
