Is your child bouncing off the walls? ☄️When kids have A LOT of energy they are more likely to show it in physical displays like hitting, kicking, or tantrums...🌪 Try the 5 minutes miracle Lion’s Breath 🦁 This undisturbed one-on-one time with your child will help both of you release some pent up energy and connect. It’s so simple: 1️⃣Invite your child to sit next to you 2️⃣ Spread your fingers wide next to your face (like a lion's mane) and take a deep breath through your nose 3️⃣ Open your eyes and mouth, stretch your tongue out, and let your breath out through your mouth with a silent ROAR! 🦁 Here’s why: Lion’s breath regulates your child’s nervous system🫀🧠 by activating the parasympathetic system which helps release tension and promote relaxation. The Parasympathetic nervous system is activated during deep breathing and lowers heart rate, blood pressure, physical and emotional stress 😌 *Do it when your child is relatively regulated* All coping skills must be well practiced at times of calm before they can be used at time of big emotions 🦁🌪 Have you done this one before? Let me know what you think about it. (Source: Harvard Medical School- Harvard health Publishing) @harvardmed @harvardchansph
