1. I taught the deep breathing technique I learned in my birth class to all of my children to help them relax, especially when they are in pain. It helps, if only to give them something to think about.
2. When I taught English in Japan my commitment was that when my students accosted Americans they would shout, “Hello!” rather than “Herro!”
3. Sometimes when I speak at my MOPS group I remind the women that they are off the clock and you can see them all relax a little more.
Off the clock. I like that.
I should try the breathing techniques with my daughter. That girl cries at the very thought of falling down.
You think I’m exaggerating, don’t you?
(sob) But the dog tripped me and I almost fell!! (sob)
I don’t doubt. I have a shrieker whose philosophy is scream first then determine if you have been, hurt or emotionally accosted.
Can you teach the breathing technique via blog? I promise I’ll practice really hard. ;0
