How it works

  1. 1

    First, let's create a soft space. Can you help your child sit on the pillow or cushion?

  2. 2

    Now, let's practice gentle breathing. Can you model taking a slow breath in and out?

  3. 3

    Let's add a soft touch. Can you gently stroke your child's back or arm with the blanket?

  4. 4

    Now let's practice using this when upset. Can you say, 'When we feel upset, we can come to our calm spot'?
