Help your child feel calm in just 90 seconds. 💛
Flower Breathing is a simple breathing exercise that helps children slow down, relax, and refocus. In this gentle guided mini meditation, children imagine smelling a beautiful flower as they breathe in through their nose and blowing a feather across the room as they breathe out—learning a calming skill they can use anytime they need it.
Whether your child is feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, worried, excited, or simply needs a quiet moment, Flower Breathing offers a simple strategy they can remember long after the meditation ends.

WHY FLOWER BREATHING WORKS
