How can I teach my kids relaxation techniques?

You can start by introducing simple breathing exercises, like deep belly breathing. Would you like some examples?

Yes, please! What are some good breathing exercises?

One effective exercise is the '5-5-5' technique: inhale for 5 seconds, hold for 5 seconds, and exhale for 5 seconds. You can guide them through it.

That sounds great! How often should they practice these techniques?

Encourage them to practice daily, especially during stressful moments or before bedtime to help them relax.

Are there any fun activities to make relaxation more engaging for kids?

Absolutely! You can incorporate games like 'yoga freeze' or use guided imagery stories to make it enjoyable.
