Sammie's Breathing Videos

About

Description: Sammie, a scout, guides kids through 12 different breathing activities, including butterfly breathing, bunny breathing, rainbow breathing, star breathing, and lion breathing. Each video teaches a breathing technique, followed by practice sessions with the kids. After completing each video, kids earn a badge, making the learning process engaging and rewarding. These videos aim to help children manage stress, improve focus, and enhance their emotional regulation through fun and interactive breathing exercises.

Using Sammie's Breathing Videos in Session

Therapists can use Sammie's Breathing Videos as a tool to teach children effective relaxation techniques. Start sessions by selecting a video and practicing the breathing exercise together. Discuss how the child feels before and after the exercise to help them recognize the calming effects. Encourage children to use these techniques during stressful moments in their daily lives. Additionally, earning badges can be a motivational tool, reinforcing positive behavior and making the practice enjoyable. Use the videos to introduce mindfulness and create a routine that children can follow both in and out of therapy sessions.
