The importance of breathing patterns and language in parenting

One of the main things children inherit from their parents is their breathing patterns and language. The way parents show up to lead themselves through words, stories, and overall language is crucial. Being conscious of how we breathe and the language we use is vital for effective parenting. Breathing low and slow helps release stress and create a safe environment for children. Smiling and having fun with kids is important as it communicates that everything is okay. Being a fun dad or mom is more powerful than simply aiming to be a good parent. Enjoying yourself and finding activities that are fun for both parent and child strengthen relationships and promote a positive environment.
