Breathe, Think, Do with Sesame

Breathe, Think, Do with Sesame, explores a way for children to calm down and explore everyday challenges. Offered in both English and Spanish, kids help a monster friend take deep breaths, think of plans, and then try them out. 

Kids can create their own muppet friend and help them through the moving process, including hearing about the move, packing, saying goodbye, expressing feelings, traveling, exploring the new home, and making new friends.

Kids learn important life strategies while having fun with familiar Sesame Street characters. Kids will identify with each of the five problems, and they'll not only learn to calm down with deliberate deep breathing, they'll also be introduced to three possible strategies for working through each problem. While waiting for a turn on a slide, for example, kids learn they might sing a song, count items around them, or ask a grown-up for help. The parent section includes even more tips for helping kids develop resilience by giving them tools to solve problems.

Breathe, Think, Do with Sesame is a valuable tool for teaching kids how to handle frustrating situations (and a great reminder for adults, too).
