Is your child struggling with focus, meltdowns, emotional outbursts — and nothing seems to help? Before you try another behavioral strategy, watch this. In this episode, myofunctional therapist Chelcie Gjellum breaks down the connection between your child's breathing pattern and their behavior, focus, and emotional regulation.
