- Hola.
Today, I wanted to go outside and play
with Elmo at the park,
but my mommy and my poppy said that I can't right now.
It made me feel really, really, (grumbling) frustrated.
Do you ever feel frustrated
(stammering) or sad or nervous?
Yeah?
Well, my mommy showed me a way to calm me down
whenever I have big feelings or little feelings.
It's called belly breathing.
(gasps)
Hey, I can show you how to belly breathe.
Okay, everyone, put your hands on your belly like this.
Very good.
Now take a deep breath in through your nose like this.
(inhales)
And slowly breathe out through your mouth like this.
(exhales)
It feels good, right?
One more time, amigos.
Hands on your belly.
Slow deep breath into your nose.
(inhales)
And slowly breathe out through your mouth like this.
(exhales)
Good job.
Do you feel better?
I sure do. (chuckles)
Now, remember to use belly breathing
every time you feel, you know, frustrated
or nervous or sad.
(magic twinkling)
Ooh, ooh, I better go.
I have a video play date with Elmo.
You know, even though we can't get together,
that doesn't mean that we can not have a play date today.
I'll see you, bye-bye.
(gentle music)
