Every child handles stress and stimulus differently. By learning breathing techniques, they can process and heal their emotions in a healthy way.
Based around her own in-person teachings, Dulsey Stewart excitedly introduces Breathe With Me: Fostering Self-Confidence and Emotional Growth in Children through Breathing Exercises and Journal Prompts.
In her new guidebook / workbook for children eight years old and above, Dulsey introduces 20 unique breathing techniques that children can learn to help them respond to the unique stresses or stimuli in their lives. With these tools, they are able to handle their emotions appropriately.
Breathwork is an important key to finding lasting solutions to emotional issues. Not only does it help to recognize, slow down and process emotions; breathwork provides children a safe space to learn more about themselves-like what upsets them, what makes them excited, and what hurts their feelings most.
Dulsey ("Miss D") infuses her essence into each page, creating a mini-version of herself that children across the nation can find a safe space in. Her warm and inviting smile welcomes children into a connection built on trust and respect, and Dulsey hopes each kid who grabs this book relies on her as a place they can unwind and the book's techniques as helpful tools they can use over and over.
Parents, counselors, other children's yoga instructors, and loved ones can use Breathe With Me as an activity to do together with children or as a gift so children can empower themselves. After all, the range of breathing techniques in the book vary: some breaths will be calming while others will be stimulating, and both can be used to benefit the child in the way they need.
