Introducing Be Happy's Be Mindful Video Series!

We’re thrilled to announce our brand-new Be Mindful video series—designed especially for children to help them feel calm, focussed and more in tune with their emotions. This series will bring simple yet powerful mindfulness techniques straight to your home, therapy setting or classroom, with new videos uploaded every few weeks. From deep breathing to guided mindfulness exercises, our videos are fun, engaging and perfect for children of all ages!

About This Resource

In our first video, we introduce the concept of mindful breathing through a playful and relaxing exercise: Jellyfish Breathing! As your child watches the soothing animation of a jellyfish swimming across the screen, they’ll be guided to take deep, slow breaths in sync with its movements. This exercise encourages calmness, helps reduce anxiety and builds an early habit of mindfulness.

How to Use

1. Find a Quiet Space: Encourage your child to sit in a calm, comfortable spot with minimal distractions.
2. Play the Video: Watch our Jellyfish Breathing video together. As the jellyfish glides across the screen, your child will follow along with deep inhales and exhales.
3. Practice Mindful Breathing: Guide your child to take deep breaths in through the nose, filling their lungs, and out through the mouth as they follow the jellyfish’s movement.
4. Reflect on Feelings: After the video, ask your child how they feel. They can share if they feel more relaxed, focussed or calm.
