Belly Breathing

Belly Breathing is a live-session TF-CBT relaxation configuration for practitioners teaching a child slow belly-based breathing. It helps the practitioner observe belly movement or relaxed pacing, connect the skill to moments of tension, worry, or upset, and decide whether to reinforce the strategy between sessions.

Live-Session Focus

This configuration is intentionally compact. It supports live teaching and observation rather than a full homework program.

Reinforcement Decision

The key continuation state is whether the practitioner decides to reinforce belly breathing between sessions or revisit it later.

Is this the same as a full home practice tracker?

No. This row is the live-session configuration; detailed home tracking is outside the smallest product unless separately enabled.

Does the child complete a form?

No. The child participates in live breathing practice while the practitioner records observation and judgment.

What gets saved from the demo?

The live Belly Breathing tool and reusable setup are saved. Fictional session observations and sample child responses are not saved as real client data.
