My Friend Breath

Are you seeking a way to support your child when they are upset, angry, or anxious?

What if there was a simple strategy your child could use to change their breath to help change their emotion?

Written by a mother and daughter team with a combined 45 years experience teaching emotional self-regulation, My Friend Breath is a beautifully illustrated picture book with simple, repetitive text, and easy-to-follow breathing patterns. The book empowers children aged 3 - 8+ to develop the important skill of self-regulation through mindful breathing.

By playing along with Ash, the charismatic and caring main character, children learn how to change the way they're feeling by changing how they are breathing. So when they feel sad, mad, scared, or any other overwhelming emotion, they can use this simple strategy to help self-calm. When they are calm, happy feelings can come their way.

The book focuses on developing a child's understanding of how, when, and why to turn to their friend Breath. Through building this relationship children establish a mindful breathing practice they can use to help manage their emotions throughout life's ups and downs.

My Friend Breath has seven accompanying learning guides available at myfriendbreath.com that makes social-emotional learning (SEL) fun and engaging. With teaching scripts, online interactive games, and printable activities, supporting your child as they practice breath awareness and mindful breathing has never been easier.
