- Blow bubbles ‘slo-mo’ style, emphasizing a big deep breath in through the nose to fill the bubble… and out through the mouth as slow as possible
- Squeeze and let go, tensing different muscles in the body for 5 seconds and then slowing releasing
- Tune into the body by getting down on your child’s level and feeling each other’s heartbeats
- Have a ‘mindful’ snack by describing the smell, texture and taste of the food
- Explore textures in nature, take a walk to collect several different objects and observe/describe how each feels
- Have your child give you the ‘weather report’ on how they’re feeling, “I’m dark and cloudy with some raindrop tears coming out”

- Try ‘buddy breathing’ and invite your child to grab a toy/stuffed animal to place on their tummy while they lay down and take slow breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth
- Explore emotion by prompting your child to scan their body when experiencing a feeling, and describe where they feel it the most.
- Use a happy moment to ‘soak in the good’ by pausing with your child to observe the pleasant physical and emotional feelings present
- Sit down with your child and ‘color your feelings’ together depicting each emotion with a new color
- “Press the pause button’ together during a tense moment (but not too tense) and check in with how each of you is feeling at that moment
- Listen to some music and see how many different instruments you can each hear
- Explore gratitude by going back and forth with your child (for as long as you can!) to name as many things possible that you are grateful for
