Breathe Up, Wonder Pup: A Kid's Guide to Mindful Breathing (Self-Regulation Series) Paperback – November 20, 2019

Wonderful way to show children, or anyone, how to self-calm with mindful breathing! I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who would like to help their children - or themselves - learn to regulate breathing, and through that their heartbeat, their actions & reactions... mindfulness is a gift we give ourselves everyday!

Our family LOVES this book. So much so that we read it nightly as a family and do our favorite "animal breathing" exercises together which turns out to be exactly what we need before we turn out the lights. Our 3 year old connects with this book and the characters Draper and Zane on a whole level I can not explain - all I know is it's so well thought out and interactive you can't help but incorporate it in your everyday activities. Well done Angela and Eleanor - I can't wait for the next one!!!!

I love the way this book takes such an important and effective strategy for dealing with anxiety and presents it in a way that children will easily relate to! Useful for teachers, counselors and parents, and a terrific addition to any children's library.

This book is second in a series of self-regulation (we have both) and i have to say that, not only does this book teach lessons for my 5 year old, it teaches me! When my 5 year old gets upset or has a tantrum, i find my own blood pressure rising, so when i say to practice animal breathing (taught in this book), i take part and it works for me too. It is a conscious effort to focus, breathe, and calm yourself down. Sometimes we do this for fun, even when we are not upset, because it is fun to choose different animals. But when a child is upset, this allows them to acknowledge their feelings, breathe, and calm themselves down. It works! Thank you, Angela, for creating these stories and and educating kids and parents alike.

This book is perfect and essential for all ages and with teach you and your loved ones simple tools to help calm anxious energy. Immediately my 3 year old son was engaging and coming up with his own animals he wants to breathe like that he could identify with. We read the kindle version every night now before we go to sleep and it does wonders!!!This is everything!!!Can’t recommend it highly enough.Wow. And thank you.

I absolutely love this three part series written by Angela Murphy, but this book is definitely my favourite! I’m a teacher on call and use this book multiple times during the week with different classes because it’s always a hit! The kids love it, and all of the books in this series teach really great and easy to follow social emotional/self regulation skills. I can’t recommend this enough!

My daughter has Autism and sometimes feels anxious and has trouble finding ways to feel better. She was totally engaged watching the Author Angela read this book with her adorable dogs on her Instagram story and I knew we had to order it right away! Kids and animals have such a connection and having the story be about the dogs is such a great way to help them engage. She has already used the strategies in this book and we will definitely be watching for new books in the future!
