Ever had one of those days where your brain feels like a mixed-up puzzle? 🧩 That’s exactly how Karyn feels when we meet her—she’s got a mile-long to-do list and her heart is beating like a bouncing ball! But don’t worry, Bobbie the robot dog swoops in with the perfect solution. “Breathing is like a superpower for calming down!” Bobbie explains, before whisking Karyn away to a beautiful nature spot where they practice box breathing together.

In this calming adventure, kids ages 5-8 learn box breathing (also called square breathing)—one of the most effective breathing exercises for kids to manage big emotions. Bobbie teaches the simple 4-4-4-4 pattern: breathe in, hold, breathe out, pause. While making squares in the air, kids practice powerful positive affirmations like “I am brave like a lion,” “I can do hard things,” and “My family and friends love me.” It’s mindfulness and confidence-building rolled into one!

This interactive meditation for kids teaches emotional regulation through a fun story kids actually want to watch! Use it as a classroom brain break after recess, in your calm down corner when emotions feel big, before bedtime to wind down, or whenever your child needs help managing stress or anxiety. Kids don’t need any special materials- just a few minutes with Bobbie and they’ll have breathing techniques and coping skills they can use for life!

By the end, Karyn feels peaceful and ready to tackle her day, one task at a time. Your child will too! Looking for more social-emotional learning content? Subscribe for educational videos for kids that make learning about feelings fun! 🤖💙
