Open your arms wide like Alligator jaws.
Take three little sniffs in through your nose like a Bunny.
Imagine blowing out the candles
on a birthday Cake.
Make mindful breathing fun—
it’s as easy as A-B-C!
In Alphabreaths and Alphabreaths Too, children will learn both their ABCs and the basics of mindfulness through playful breathing exercises and vivid illustrations they’ll want to come back to again and again.
Each letter of the alphabet teaches a simple mindfulness practice to help kids gain confidence, manage stress and frustration, practice kindness and gratitude, and much more. Enjoy the video for the original book.

We start with small pieces.
We don’t start with teaching calculus in Kindergarten.
We start with teaching 1+1.
