Thesis Statement

We created a tool for both parents and children to use during a time of stress. This is designed to function as a helpful way to regulate your breathing. It is formed as a flower, representing the movement of inhaling and exhaling, just like a flower blooming. When you breathe in, the flower blooms, and when you breathe out, the flower goes back into its bud. This is a way to show the child how to facilitate self-regulation, along with being a reward of showing personal growth within the child (an addition of toys/stickers/etc.)
