Try this with your child.

This video shows how to do a very simple and effective exercise to help a child become calmer, help them fall asleep, and regulate their nervous system better.

This method is called Somato-Repiratory Integration. It was created and developed by Dr. Donny Epstein.

Children from as young as the age of 3 can actively do this with their parent. It helps the nervous system reset, reorganize, and reintegrate.

Make this a practice every night right before sleeptime. Kids will enjoy this quality time with you, and it will create good habits in the long-term when they need to self-regulate when they feel overwhelmed.
