Rocco was pushed at school and his anger got the best of him. Annie teaches Rocco that practicing belly breathing (abdominal breathing, balloon breathing) daily can be a means of training the body to respond calmly in the face of frustration and/or anger.
Teaching children balloon breathing can help them develop anger management techniques and incorporate self-soothing, calming and relaxation strategies.
First steps:
1. Find a quiet, comfortable place for you and your child to sit or lie down.
2. Take a normal breath.
3. Try a deep breath by breathing in slowly through the nose, allowing your chest and lower belly to rise as you fill your lungs. Let your abdomen expand fully.
4. Breathe out slowly through your nose, allowing your chest and belly to flatten.
5. Repeat 5-10 times daily
Lyrics:
When you have an angry feeling
Try some belly breathing
Breathing in, my bellow grows
Breathing out, down it goes
Anger is a secondary emotion. When it’s activated, our heart rate increases, our breath becomes shortened and we prepare our body to fight, flight or freeze. Sometimes an emotional outburst follows and in many cases in childhood, the tantrum ensues.
Belly breathing can restore the breathing pattern, and in turn, a calm and relaxed state. Practicing belly breathing daily can help train the body and mind to engage the practice during challenging and difficult times. Deep breathing brings oxygen to the lower lungs which increases circulation.
Breathing deeply moves the air and oxygen down into the lower areas of the lungs where most of the circulation of blood is.
