It can be *REALLY* hard to reduce the amount of questions you ask kids, but this is a super important strategy to use when working with kids who have delays or difficulty communicating.

What you can do instead:
✅ Comment or narrate about what you see happening, “Look at the airplane!” “The dog is barking too loud!”

When you know children understand and can say the word/concept:

✅ For some kids, a lead in comment with wait time may be helpful, “the dog is….. (wait) barking!”
✅ Say something silly, “You are 39 years old….. (wait to see if they correct you), if not, “NO! That’s silly. You are 4 years old!”

The tongue acts like a switch for nasal breathing!

When your tongue is resting up against the palate, the only way you can breathe is in and out of the nose. 👃

If you’re noticing habitual mouth breathing, it might be helpful to check for restrictions or other factors that could be affecting your tongue’s resting posture.

Visits www.thebreatheinstitute.com for more information and/or to schedule a consultation.

“You wanna line up your toys? Okay let’s line them up?”
“You feel like dumping your toys? Let’s dump!”
“You want to look at spinning wheels up close? I can do that too!”
