Bubble Time
A quiet activity such as blowing bubbles can help both children and adults breathe deeply, slow down… and calm down.
When challenges and feelings are BIG, there are little things you can do to help things feel easier for your child. Together with your child, watch this video in which Abby and her mommy blow bubbles.
If you have bubble solution, try it yourselves (without bubbles, you might pantomime the activity as you re-watch the video). Take a slow deep breath in and slowly breathe out as you blow the bubbles, and encourage your child to breathe along with you. Together, watch the bubbles quietly float and pop.
