How breathing exercises can transform student behaviour and hardwire crucial self-regulation skills:

Breathing is a simple but powerful coping tool students can do anytime, anywhere.

When we take a breath, we are telling our nervous systems that we are safe, and begin to regulate. Our students having access to this as a hardwired tool can significantly reduce challenging behaviours.

These breathing exercises are the perfect visual for students to take a moment of mindfulness and come back to a place of calm.

These activities are ones that students can do time and time again, and easy enough for them to use independently at their desks, at a calm corner space, or even out in the real world using the cards.

The included breathing exercise cards are a game changer!

• Students can practice self-regulation without increasing classroom disruption.
• You can keep a copy on a keyring in your bag for when you are in a different classroom, out on playground duty, in assembly etc
• Hand out to students as a non-verbal reminder to regulate if you can see things escalating.
• Provide copies for students who would like to benefit from these strategies outside of the classroom.
