When BoBo the little orange cat tries to build his block tower, it keeps falling down - and his frustration grows BIGGER and BIGGER. He wants to roar, stomp, and knock everything over!
But wise Zen the cat knows a secret: big feelings don't have to be scary. Zen teaches BoBo the "Calm Breath" - breathe all the way down into your belly, count slowly to four, and feel the big feeling begin to shrink.
With each breath, BoBo discovers something amazing: he has the power to calm himself down.
Children will learn:
- It is okay to feel frustrated or angry
- Belly breathing is a real tool they can use anytime, anywhere
- Counting slowly while breathing helps feelings pass
