Buddy, and his friends, will encounter challenges that young children face each day, and together they will calm down, and find the solution to their problems. Buddy the Bulldozer uses deep breathing as a coping strategy to regulate his emotions and support him in his ability to solve problems. We can’t really control our emotions, but we can control our behavior and how we react to our feelings. Before your child can do deep breathing exercises when they’re upset as a coping strategy, they need practice when they’re calm and ready to learn. That is where Buddy comes in! Buddy uses a three-step method to calm down; STOP, BREATH, and THINK. By using Buddy the Bulldozer, you will be able to support your child’s social and emotional intelligence and help build a foundation for future learning and success.
