Buteyko Breathing Courses for children
At Shore Natura Health we offer Buteyko breathing courses for children during the school term and in the school holidays. Special children breathing classes are designed to engage your child in a fun way to learn and improve their breathing. Breathing retraining can start at a young age. However, your child should be 4 years old and able to follow basic instructions to take part in a course.
Children find it much easier to let go of old breathing behaviours and adopt quickly new habits compared to adults. Kids are fast learners and parents report in most cases encouraging results during the first week of the course.
We notice that mouth breathing improves and we see more and more ‘lips together’ as we look around. Those stubborn blocked noses start to clear up, breathing becomes calmer for our asthma children and parents report that sleep improves. Our programme combines breathing exercises, lifestyle and diet guidelines to support the transition.
The body requires a healthy balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide for it to function which applies to all of us no matter what age we are. If carbon dioxide levels drop because of breathing poorly it creates a problem over time. As the amount of carbon dioxide gets lowered because of overbreathing we put on the brakes for the oxygen delivery to our brain and vital organs. If your child has dysfunctional breathing you might notice arising symptoms in your daughter or son.
