You need
- a soft toy or teddy
Steps

- 4. Five slow breaths. Give teddy a gentle ride.
⚠ Safety · Stay nearby
Nothing to watch for.
Stop if:
- Your child wants to get up — two breaths is still good
Easier
The grown-up breathes with a teddy too, and your child copies.
Harder
Count to four on the way in and four on the way out.
Only 5 minutes?
Three breaths.
Why it matters: Slow breathing is a tool children can use to calm down when feelings are big.
Clean-up: Teddy goes back to bed.
