Circle time is an increasingly popular learning tool for early childhood educators. The "Breathing Circle" techniques offer a simple, informal way of helping to promote physical and social confidence in young children, and at the same time increase their learning potential. The movements, verses, songs and stories work directly with the cycle of the breath and can be used with young children aged from 18 months up to around seven years.

5.0 out of 5 stars
natural antidote for anxiety,
By Nancy S. Mellon "storyteller" (east coast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Breathing Circle: Learning Through the Movement of the Natural Breath (Hawthorn Press Early Years) (Paperback)
Nell Smyth's book provides a very effective antidote against today's
anxiety. fear and hysteria.Its instructions and exercises, designed to support healthy child development, bring every child's birthright to life--- fresh, healthy. joyous breathing.! And every adult's too. This book would work delightful wonders in today's halls of government and business. By encouraging peace, well-being and vitality through a wide array of brilliantly creative stories, rhymes and rhythmic games, Nell Smyth gives us the directions we need to balance from the news! She shows us how to interact playfully with a new generation of children so that together we can all strengthen our inner poise and resilience to meet this very challenging sedentary electronic age. I wish everyone would read this book, take it to heart, and discover happier and healthier full-breathing lives. It is written in the greatest teaching tradition that encourages openness of heart, soul and mind.
