An Easy to Remember Rhyme For Children with Anxiety

"1-2-3, a deep breath for me,

4-5-6, blow it out like candlesticks,

7-8-9, everything will be fine,

when I get to 10, I do it again."

1-2-3, A Deep Breath for Me focuses on teaching self-regulation skills and calming techniques to children who are experiencing anxiety.

Narrated from the perspective of an anxious dog named Mack, the book follows his journey of learning to cope with his uneasy feelings with the help of his new best friend, Gertie the puggle.

The book uses colorful illustrations and simple language to help children understand their emotions and provides them with practical techniques to manage anxiety. By following Mack's journey, children can learn breathing exercises, visualization techniques, and other self-soothing activities that can be practiced in their daily lives. This book also serves as a valuable resource for parents and educators looking to support children's mental health.
