If you\u2019re a parent, you understand how difficult it can be to try and teach your kids how to process their own emotions. Kimberlee Bushman, a Mom of three, recently shared a moment that folks are saying shows that what she\u2019s been doing is working. It all started with a technique used to calm down. Kimberlee first introduced the technique to help Noella, her 5-year-old.<\/p>\n

The steps are simple \u2014 Mom would hold out her hand, with all five fingers stretched out, and ask Noella to \u201cblow out the candles one at a time.\u201d In doing so, she\u2019d naturally find herself gaining control of her breathing and, in turn, would calm down. Not only does this method help, it stuck with the 5-year -old so much that when Kimberlee began to have a panic attack in the car, she knew exactly what to do.<\/p>\n

In a video sharing the moment, Noella can be seen with her hands out, helping her Mom to steady her breathing. She even ends the exercise by asking her Mom if she\u2019s like a hug, an offer she was more than happy to take.<\/p>\n
