This GIF was created by an occupational therapist with experience in teaching people how to manage anxiety, anger, frustration, and other emotions. People often times do not breathe correctly to help with calming; this is especially true for kids. This GIF is animated and highlights the body part that should be used to breathe (breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth), slow and deep breaths, and hold for a few secs at the top. Use this GIF to teach yourself, your child, or others how to take deep breaths to reduce anxiety, frustration, anger, and any other emotion that you or they may be struggling with!
