An artistic representation of “my stomach hurts” by a 4 year-old. This little one had a big message about what it felt to have a stomach ache so bad it made her cry. At 4 years old no one has the descriptive words to express such an abstract feelings. Once she was regulated which involved getting some relief, she needed to share a message to process what her mini- body had gone through.

Today, our Mario Kart team was not doing so well during the Grand Prix. We were frustrated, we kept missing the boxes with the power ups, and Wario kept shrinking us. The bubbles were nearby, my client picked them up and began to blow. We both began to use our separate bubbles to take a deep breath before blowing out slowly so we could get out as many bubbles as possible. Because now we were in a race!

During the game, I co-regulated with my client by naming their feeling and modeling the language, “this game is frustrating today! I’m holding my breath at each turn!” I didn’t offer bubbles, I didn’t try to make it better, the bubbles were just there. Suddenly we were regulating together by using breath work with a tool that makes sense for my client.
