“Balloon Breathing”

Let’s help your body feel calm and strong.
We’re going to blow up a pretend balloon in our tummy!

🫁
Put your hands on your tummy.
Can you feel it?
We’re going to fill it up with air like a big, soft balloon.

Ready?

🌟 Breath 1

Breathe in slowly through your nose…
Fill up your tummy balloon…
1… 2… 3… 4…

Now breathe out through your mouth…
Let the air go sloooowly like a soft whisper…
4… 3… 2… 1…

Good job.

🌟 Breath 2

In through your nose — tummy fills up like a balloon…
1… 2… 3… 4…

Out through your mouth — gentle and slow…
4… 3… 2… 1…

You’re doing amazing.

🌟 Breath 3

Let’s do one more.
Breathe in big and gentle…
Tummy rising like a happy balloon…
1… 2… 3… 4…

Breathe out soft and slow…
Like blowing bubbles without popping them…
4… 3… 2… 1…

🧸 Finish

Now give your tummy a little hug.
Say quietly:

> “I can make my body feel calm.”

Your brain and body are working together.
You did something kind for yourself.
That’s very brave.
