A gentle guide for parents
Everything you need to use My Calm Corner with confidence — and to keep it calm, kind, and pressure-free.
Breathe with them
Your child follows your pace. Sit side by side, breathe along with the orb, and keep your voice soft and slow.
Keep it short
Two or three minutes is plenty. Stop before it stops feeling good — calm should never feel like a chore.
No pressure
There's no right way to breathe here. If your child giggles, wiggles, or wants to stop, that's completely fine.
Make it cozy
A cushion, a blanket, dim lights — small comforts help. The gentle sound option can make it feel even softer.
How to use a breathing exercise
- 1Pick an exercise together. Let your child choose — it helps them feel in charge of their calm.
- 2Sit comfortably, side by side. Press play and watch the orb grow and shrink.
- 3Breathe in as the orb grows, out as it shrinks. Follow the words on the screen.
- 4After a few rounds, press pause. Ask how their body feels now.
- 5Repeat any time — calm is a practice, not a performance.
A gentle reminder
My Calm Corner is a calming companion, not medical advice or a treatment for anxiety, asthma, or any condition. Never ask a child to hold their breath for long, and stop immediately if they feel dizzy or unwell. If your child is in distress, please reach out to a trusted healthcare professional.
