The Shape Breathing Calm Kit – A PARENT & PROFESSIONAL GUIDE (Universal Edition)

DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

A simple, visual way to help children settle their bodies, regulate emotions, and return to calm — anytime, anywhere.

Shape Breathing is a child-friendly regulation tool that teaches slow, intentional breathing by tracing the outline of calming shapes. This universal kit gives children a predictable rhythm to follow, helping the brain shift from “fight–flight” into a calmer, more organised state. It’s developmentally accessible, SEN-friendly, and ideal for home, school, or therapy settings.

Designed with soft colours, child-safe language, and gentle visual cues, this kit empowers children to independently pause, breathe, and reset. Adults receive a comprehensive guide to introduce the practice with confidence and sensitivity — no prior training needed.

What’s Inside the Kit

• Square Breathing – grounding + focus for overwhelm
