Children experience just as many challenging emotions as adults do, but they have less control over their lives and environments, making some emotions more difficult to manage. Though many parents teach children to talk about their emotions, some feelings are too overwhelming to immediately discuss. This new short film, Just Breathe, aims to help children manage emotions that are too big to discuss.
The video, created by filmmakers Julie Bayer Salzman and Josh Salzman for Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, features kids talking about their emotions, what happens in their brains and bodies when they feel overwhelmed, and how mindfulness practices can help them calm down, breathe, and control their emotions in a healthy way.
