Memory Game: Breathing Choices
Conscious Discipline’s four core breathing techniques shut off the body’s “fight or flight response,” allowing children and adults to calm themselves and choose effective responses to conflict and upset.
Of course, practice is required for these techniques to become second nature. With the Memory Game: Breathing Choices, you can review S.T.A.R., Balloon, Drain and Pretzel with your children or students through play. If you practice active calming with children when they are calm, it will become easier to access these skills in moments of upset.
