[00:00:00.141]
(upbeat music)
[00:00:10.260]
Using an activity like the breath star is important
[00:00:12.570]
because it gives the preschoolers a tool
[00:00:14.820]
to be able to calm their bodies.
[00:00:16.800]
As we know, when oxygen is inhaled
[00:00:19.216]
and it goes to the brain,
[00:00:20.730]
it literally calms the entire body down.
[00:00:23.370]
It helps us focus.
[00:00:24.750]
It helps us think clearly.
[00:00:26.460]
And it helps us be able to process what's going on
[00:00:28.980]
inside of us so that we can move on the next step,
[00:00:31.650]
which is identifying what it is
[00:00:33.750]
that caused that strong emotion.
[00:00:35.430]
And then eventually finding the solution
[00:00:38.340]
to that problem and teaching preschoolers
[00:00:40.560]
how to be able to find those solutions on their own.
[00:00:43.170]
So the breath star gives them five big breaths of time
[00:00:47.280]
to be able to just calm whatever strong emotion is
[00:00:49.830]
that they have, and then get to a place
[00:00:52.632]
where they can actually focus on how to heal.
[00:00:56.533]
(upbeat music)
[00:00:59.509]
Everybody, put your hand up like this.
[00:01:01.860]
I need you to take this finger real quick.
[00:01:03.690]
Before we use this finger for the breath star,
[00:01:05.880]
I want you to use this finger and touch your brain.
[00:01:08.670]
Now this is a quiet activity.
[00:01:10.020]
Tell your brain, say brain, let's focus.
[00:01:14.430]
Antonia, say brain, let's focus.
[00:01:17.197]
Brain, let's focus.
[00:01:18.150]
Say I am important.
[00:01:21.000]
My body is important.
[00:01:24.960]
I can control my feelings.
[00:01:28.260]
Take a deep breath in
[00:01:29.400]
and take your finger and trace the breath star.
[00:01:32.340]
We're gonna take five breaths
[00:01:33.840]
because we have five star points.
[00:01:36.360]
Ready?
[00:01:37.193]
Go.
[00:01:38.103]
(inhaling deeply)
[00:01:38.936]
Sometimes you can close your eyes.
[00:01:40.744]
(exhaling)
[00:01:42.450]
Breathe in all the way into your tummies.
[00:01:45.141]
(inhaling deeply)
[00:01:47.376]
(exhaling)
[00:01:48.300]
That's two, keep going.
[00:01:50.437]
(inhaling deeply)
[00:01:52.691]
Close your eyes and think about how good this is feeling
[00:01:55.170]
and calming your body down.
[00:01:57.300]
Deep breath in.
[00:01:58.693]
(inhaling deeply)
[00:02:00.360]
Blow it out.
[00:02:01.428]
(exhaling)
[00:02:02.340]
We have one more star point.
[00:02:04.766]
(inhaling deeply)
[00:02:06.540]
Blow it out.
[00:02:07.877]
(exhaling)
[00:02:08.954]
I want you to put your hands on your knees,
[00:02:11.280]
have your eyes closed.
[00:02:12.540]
And this is the last breath we're gonna take.
[00:02:15.690]
Breathe in.
[00:02:16.670]
(inhaling deeply)
[00:02:19.133]
And blow out all the yuckiness, sadness,
[00:02:22.260]
angry mess, and open your eyes.
[00:02:26.610]
Now feel, feel your body.
[00:02:29.576]
I feel the same way, Cora.
[00:02:31.334]
(giggling)
[00:02:32.280]
I feel the same way.
[00:02:33.240]
I am so relaxed, I could lay down.
[00:02:35.601]
(upbeat music)
