It sets them up to help deal with difficult situations for the rest of their life. "Great Big Breath" is a beautifully illustrated children's book that does a fantastic job of teaching kids how to ease anxiety and how to relax by using a simple breathing technique." Patrick McKeown; creator, CEO and Director of Education and Training at Oxygen Advantage® and author of the best-selling sports medicine book "The Oxygen Advantage" As a psychotherapist in private practice, who specializes in Neuro-Counseling, I teach adults how important it is to be in the present moment without judgment because I understand how enormously impactful this simple act is for brain and nervous system health and function. In session, the thought always occurs to me how amazing would it have been if this could have been taught in childhood. Great Big Breath does this exact thing beautifully, succinctly, and substantially! The importance of this book cannot be overlooked. Andy Macon, MSSW, LCSW, LCAS, CSI and owner of The Mend Collective. The book, The Great Big Breath, is a wonderful resource for parents, teachers and therapists. I am a psychotherapist who specializes in attachment trauma and I have worked with kids and adults to help them heal for over 15 years. I love how the book is teaching breathing and coping without the child even knowing it as they just read and interact with the story. In my practice it is difficult to help children learn mindfulness skills and this book is a fun and engaging way to do it. I highly recommend this mindful book for children and adults alike. Paige Bell, LCSW, Owner of Paige Bell Counseling DW Long is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping children step into their best selves. As a rather precocious and sensitive child, learning to find a calm place inside himself was not a skill that DW was taught, as is the story with so many children from various backgrounds around the world. It is his sincere hope that his children's books will help kids develop the precious skill of finding a calm place inside themselves when life presents difficult moments.Throughout his career as a psychotherapist, DW has worked with thousands of children and adults who have experienced trauma and have needed support learning how to self-regulate when difficult emotions are present. Bringing mindful attention to the breath can help this process along and it is the basic principles of mindfulness that is infused into all of his work as an author. DW lives with his partner on the west coast of Scotland where he is inspired by the natural beauty and warmth of the people with every passing day. His happy place is directly connected to his abundant love for the great outdoors in one of the most beautiful places on Earth. You will most often find him hiking somewhere in the highlands or swimming and paddle boarding in the North Atlantic right outside his front door.
