🌊 ANXIETY MANAGEMENT SKILLS TAUGHT:
✨ "Worries are like waves" - they come and go, they're temporary
✨ 4-6 breathing technique (breathe in 4 counts, out 6 counts)
✨ Naming feelings reduces their power
✨ You can be scared AND brave at the same time
✨ Going at your own pace is perfectly okay
✨ Focusing on breath creates instant calm
✨ Anxiety doesn't last forever

💙 THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS:
This story incorporates evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques and mindfulness practices recommended by child psychologists for managing anxiety. The "worries are like waves" metaphor helps children externalize anxiety, making it feel less overwhelming and more manageable.

🧘 BREATHING TECHNIQUE EXPLAINED:
The 4-6 breathing (inhale 4 counts, exhale 6 counts) activates the parasympathetic nervous system - your body's natural calming response. The longer exhale signals safety to the brain. Practice this with your child during calm moments so they can use it independently when anxious!
