Bounce Back

When something goes wrong, talk about how to take a deep breath and try again.

Category: Emotional Growth · Duration: ~5 min

1. Use a real moment if one happens — a tower falls, a drawing rips, a game is lost. 2. Name the feeling: "I can see you're frustrated. That's okay." 3. Show them a deep breath: in through the nose (smell the flowers), out through the mouth (blow out the candle). 4. Say: "Sometimes things don't work out. We can feel upset, take a breath, and try again." 5. Help them try again or pivot to something else. Praise the comeback, not the result.
