From the Note to Parents and Caregivers:
Imagine if the skills for managing stress and anxiety were learned in early childhood. Children as young as three years old who are experiencing anxious feelings for the first time could ease their worries by practicing proper breathing and relaxation techniques.. Teaching these skills early in a child’s life will not only establish confidence and courage, but will set the foundation for managing
anxiety that can transition well into adulthood.
