Editorial Reviews

Review

★★★★★ "This is a must have book for any parent or primary teacher! Mindful breathing is the most powerful tool around to help teach self-awareness and self-regulation to children. The story, teaches this quintessential skill in a way that is completely accessible, meaningful, memorable, and fun! I can't wait to read this book to my students so they can use mindful breathing to save the day, especially during these unprecedented times! Grateful for this powerful mindfulness teaching tool." - Brigitte Huot, Teacher

★★★★★ "What a wonderful children's book. Introducing mindfulness through storytelling is a fun and engaging way to help children build confidence, understand emotions and overcome anxious feelings. This story created by a mindful family, demonstrates helpful breathing practices as the story unfolds. A beautifully illustrated tale of how baby shark saves the day!" - Ms Jana York, Mindfulness Teacher and Practitioner

★★★★★ "Loved the positive message for both parents and children. Great explanation of how to use mindful breathing in so many situations that are difficult for children. Wonderful that children also use fine and gross motor skills while learning! Great positive ending!" - Sharon Tanner, Children's Yoga Teacher

★★★★★ "I just love the fact that 'Baby Shark Saves the Day' is a family project! Drawing on their experiences actually putting mindfulness into practice, the Bergstrom family have created an engaging and fun way to introduce mindful breathing to children. Both my boys were riveted as we read 'Baby Shark Saves the Day' and absolutely loved the free resources." - Rebecca Yin Foo, Educational and Developmental Psychologist and Mum

★★★★★ "This is such a fun way for children to learn mindfulness. I love how the author shares an engaging children's story while also giving directions on how to do your "shark" breath. I coach elementary classrooms in mindfulness and this will become one of my go to resources." - Meg Frideres, Mindfulness Teacher & Educational Instructional Coach

★★★★★ "The idea of the baby shark breathing hand gestures to help a child feel calmer is such a wonderful idea! My five-year-old loved pretending to be baby, mummy and daddy shark and loved the breathing exercises. It even helped my child feel calmer after falling down and hurting her knee, without baby shark breathing exercises she would have cried for a very long time, but baby shark helped her calm down very quickly and concentrate on her breathing and not her scratched knee.I would also recommend Chris's book 150 playful mindfulness activities for kids and teens for more ideas on how to incorporate mindfulness and breathing into everyday life." - Asma Alazeib, Mother

★★★★★ "What a wonderful and simple way to teach children about mindfulness. I'm a behavior interventionist at an urban elementary school and will be using this book in my instruction. I love the additional activities that Chris offers. It will help remind students how to breath. Thanks. I can't wait to get back to school and start teaching again." - Teresa Fliger, Behavior Interventionist

★★★★★ "I just read this story book with my children. I keep trying to find ways to engage them in mindfulness activities but, particularly my 4yo girl never wants to interact. This time it was different. Because of the way the story is told it was really easy for me to motivate her and we were doing baby shark breathing like there is no tomorrow!" - Natalia Berlanga, Mother

★★★★★ "A lovely way of combining a social story and breathing technique in a totally accessible way to young readers. Baby Shark practices and teaches mindful breathing to others and uses it in different scenarios. This book has clear instructions for the breathing exercise alongside the story, and includes different situations to use it. The growth mindset statement included in one part of the book helps to remind children that the breath clears the way for the positive thoughts, and the fact that he teaches it to Mummy and Daddy shark reminds them that everyone can have difficult thoughts. Lovely extra resources at the end too! I work with children managing difficult behaviour so have a big toolkit of breathing exercises and I'm sure this is going to be the new favourite!" - Vicky Rowley, Behaviour Support Worker
★★★★★ "I am school-based family therapist and I'm always looking for fun ways to introduce mindfulness and mindful breathing to the kids I work with. I work with Kindergarten through 5th grade and I'm looking forward to using this with the younger ones, it's such a wonderful idea. I recommend this book to anyone working with children." - Cathie Ahrensfeld, School and Family Mental Health Therapist

From the Author

We created this book as a family project based on our own experiences with challenging everyday situations to show how mindful breathing has helped us handle difficult emotions. Mindful breathing requires practice, and this book will help you build a foundation through play for a sustained practice so you receive the benefits.
With love and gratitude,Chris, Hanna and Anton

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

During a long adoption phase Chris searched for the best children’s mindfulness techniques to help his child. Chris tried more than 200 mindfulness activities for kids and teens. He made an amazing discovery: mindfulness could be made both simple and playful—and if mindfulness was made playful it would be enjoyable and it would actually stick!

After 8 years of trying to conceive and just 2 weeks before finalising adoption his wife became pregnant with their son Anton. Chris felt it was nothing short of a miracle and started mindfulness practice when his son was just six months old.

Anton, now 4, knows tools to help him be focused, calmer, less scared, and happier when he needs to be. He even knows how to cheer daddy up by gently guiding Chris through a joy-boosting gratitude practice. It’s amazing what kids can do!

Mindfulness has helped the whole family experience more moments of family peace, heartfelt connection, and laughs.

Chris now teaches mindfulness to kids, teens, parents and educators to give them easy access to that same sense of contentment, accomplishment, and connection with kids and youth.

Chris is the founder of BlissfulKids.com, a blog dedicated to children’s mindfulness, and a dad who is thrilled to practice mindfulness with his son. He is a certified mindfulness facilitator and trained to teach mindfulness to students in K-12. He’s also an executive consultant and has taught meditation for more than 15 years.

    This is a sweet mindfulness story for young children. Baby shark teaches his family a fun breathing strategy to help them cope with everyday stresses. Nervous? Jittery thoughts? Strong feelings?- Try a shark breath! The illustrations are simple, endearing and engaging. The instructions for the breaths and hand gestures are clear. I was especially impressed that the author incorporated ‘growth mindset’ into the story. And bonus! - free printables at the end keep the conversation going after the story is over. I look forward to sharing this with my primary mindfulness students.

    I love how you incorporated something that most of our kiddos these days are obsessed with! I teach life skills, and breathing in my classroom is something we talk about every day, and I NEVER even thought about tag-teaming it with the Baby Shark theme. Amazing book! I also love how repetitive it is. It really enforces how important it is to breathe in any situation that is uncomfortable to them! The colors are great as well. It really catches your eye and draws you in! LOVE this book! :)

    ... little ones - yet parents, older siblings, teachers, and other adults can also benefit simply by sharing the story with young children. Everyone learns mindful breathing techniques and sees how mindful breathing helps in almost any uncomfortable situation. I was concerned that Mama Shark and Daddy Shark would have ignored or gotten angry with Baby Shark since he seemed to be interrupting his MaMa and delaying his Daddy even more - BUT, they stopped enough to pay attention to him, learn with him, and all worked out well!

    What I like best about this strategy for teaching regulated breathing (to any one who is a child at heart) is using the demonstration with fingers/hands/forearms/arms which makes the auditory-if-read-aloud concept visual and kinesthetic! as well The number of repetitions is enough to create a felt difference. AND the excellent parent-sharks acknowledge their own tension. Well done!

    A fun way to learn mindfulness with one of the most loved kids songs “Baby Shark”. This story will help children and adults learn about breathing techniques, self-soothing, and building confidence. In these unprecedented times, children and adults are being asked to cope with more than we ever have and it can be frightening. This is a wonderful introduction to the practice of mindfulness and calming yourself down when feelings become “too big”. Baby Shark to the Rescue!

    I got this book at no cost to me, but the opinion is my own. It was cute, in that it features Baby Shark; but the answer to everything was breathing techniques, with no honor shown to his parents when he interrupted or inconvenienced them, and no signal back to the One who rules all and should be trusted with anxieties.

    My 4 year old loved it! The very next day when he had an I've-been-up-for-too-long-and-can't-handle-it meltdown we were lying down in bed and he asked while crying "But what can I do to relax?" Thank goodness he reminded me there are strategies for that, so I immediately offered we try the baby shark breaths. He was IN for it. After a few breaths he complained it wasn't helping but within a couple minutes he WAS calm.
    Thanks Baby Shark!

    “We enjoyed it very much, two daughters aged 7 and 9 and myself. It was great to have the familiar ditty of Baby Shark for them to relate to and the additional story gave the characters in the song a face. Overall I think that using this story as a real and visual aid into mindfulness is excellent. It is easy to remember and therefore do and is a useful tool with anxious children – I have one. I liked how you included the Mummy and Daddy shark too as it tells our young people that everyone can feel anxious and that everyone needs help from time to time and that we can all work towards feeling better”.

    Beautifully illustrated! Recommend for children ages 2-8. Baby Shark is already loved by many so to incorporate it into a breathing resource book is brilliant. This book engages all learners: visual with the colourful and detailed pages, auditory with the repetition of phrases, reading pages are easy to follow for younger children and simple enough for more experienced readers, and of course kinesthetic with the various hand movements throughout the book. This book should be purchased by every parent, educator, caregiver, or yoga teacher who works with children as it is a valuable tool to teach the importance of breathing through your emotions! Bonus: adults will benefit as well :)
