What are we learning?

The activity is intended to help us observe whether a child can apply a simple pause-and-breathe practice at a naturally occurring moment, and what parents notice during the experience.

What to notice

  • Was your child able to try it?
  • How much prompting was needed?
  • What did you notice about your child's response?
  • What did you notice about your own response?
  • What felt easy, difficult, unusual, or unexpected?
