Description
Description
Every day, your child takes 20,000–30,000 breaths. Over a childhood, those breaths add up, and how they're taken can shape energy, focus, sleep, growth, and mood. The signs aren't always obvious. A mouth hanging open at the dinner table. A nose that's always blocked. Catching every cold going round. Stopping sooner than friends when running. At night, loud breathing, snoring, restless sleep, or bedclothes thrashed about by morning.
If any of this sounds familiar, you may already be asking:
"Is my child breathing well?"
This book was written to help answer that question and, more importantly, to provide practical breathing instruction to support both child and family. First published by Patrick McKeown in 2003 under the title Always Breathe Correctly, it has since been revised and reprinted several times. With the knowledge and experience of teacher Kate Louise Daly, this new edition has been shaped to better connect with children and to support them in developing healthier breathing habits.
