HOW DO BRAVE AND ABLE WORK?
Developed in consultation with children’s psychologists and educators, Brave and Able Breathing Buddies offer slow, deep breathing guidance without the need for an app or a smartphone. Guided light teaches kids how to calmly take control of their breathing and regain focus.
Our intention is that Brave and Able Breathing Buddies become a tangible tool for grown ups to engage children in conversations about all kinds of feelings, and provide a demonstration for how to start to work through them. They are a great routine building tool to help develop confidence and autonomy in self-regulation and to remind kids (and parents!) to take five and come up for air.
Your confidence companion
Brave and Able are the kind of buddies you can always rely on to make you feel safe, calm and in control. A beautiful, tangible tool for grown ups to engage children in conversations about all kinds of feelings, and provide a demonstration for how to start to work through them. We know you can do hard things!
Sensory fabrics
Wrap yourself up in the safety of a trusted friend. Brave and Able Breathing Buddies are made of beautifully soft fabrics in a variety of textures, to add an extra sensory element for kids. This helps them regain focus and be present. Soft and snuggly and great bedtime comforters.
Develop self-regulation skills
Help develop confidence and autonomy in self-regulation and remind kids (and parents!) to take five and come up for air. Use Brave and Able Breathing Buddies to encourage regular quiet play, brain breaks and time in. Build mindful breathing time into your routines while kids are calm, so that these skills can be recalled in tricky situations when they need them most.
