A Breath Spa For Kids

I've just read about another UnLtd project: it is offering a breath spa for kids. The workshops are available for children with sleep-disordered breathing (a.k.a. snoring, sleep apnoea).

There is a research summary of sleep-disordered breathing that indicates that it is common in children with physical, emotional or behavioural issues. The project is set up to work on establishing healthy breathing habits for children to reduce the incidence of sleep-disordered breathing. If the techniques work, and the children stop snoring, it would be interesting to see if their other health outcomes improve.

I've participated in some of the pilot workshops for this project before at a pre-school and I had a great time (hey, I got to wear my Darth Vader mask). So, I've offered to run more laughter yoga and meditation sessions as part of the workshops so that the children can have an enjoyable learning experience. It will be interesting to see how this works out!
