Full teaching script
  1. Today: Belly breathing. Our goal: Use slow breathing to feel calmer.
  2. Take one idea at a time. Pause after each sentence; ask for repetition whenever you need it.
  3. When we are worried, our breathing gets fast. Slow breathing tells the body it is safe. Put a soft toy on your tummy. Breathe in through your nose for four counts and watch it rise. Breathe out slowly for four counts and watch it fall.
  4. Together: choose one example from the explanation and show how it works. What do you notice?
  5. Your turn: Do five slow belly breaths with a toy on your tummy.
  6. Reflect: what made sense, and what would you like explained differently?
