Gentle vibration adds tactile input in the palm, giving children another cue to focus on while they breathe.
Little Mellos can be practised together, giving parents and children a simple shared routine for slowing down and reconnecting.
Using Little Mellos during calm moments helps children become familiar with steady breathing, so they have a skill to draw on when bigger feelings arise.

"Breathwork is a proven way to lower anxiety levels while shifting our nervous systems out of fight/flight arousal. But very often, children believe they are taking much slower breaths than they actually are. This is why I love Little Mellos and use it both at home and in my clinical work with children and teens. Little Mellos guides young people through a structured deep slow breathing sequence while empowering them to feel the rhythm of a true slow deep breath. It’s discreet and playfully engaging with practical impact, my type of therapeutic tool!"
