Category: Other
This session provides and overview of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system and opportunities to practice a variety of breathing techniques. Breathing techniques can stimulate or calm the nervous system which can assist in our caregiving work with children and/or families. Breathing exercises can have many benefits including stress relief, improved cardiovascular and respiratory health, and overall improvement in quality of life.
In our work, we may have opportunities to support young children and/or families in regulating their nervous systems using simple breathwork techniques. By regulating ourselves using breathwork, we are able to be more present with the children we care for and assist them in learning how to regulate as they develop. Resources for videos & literature on breathwork will be shared.
