Breathe, think, do with Sesame

Breath, Think, Do helps teach skills such as problem solving, self-control, planning, and task persistence.

Children laugh and learn as they help a Sesame Street monster friend calm down and solve everyday challenges. This bilingual (English and Spanish), research-based app helps children learn Sesame’s “Breathe, Think, Do” strategy for problem-solving.

Tap and touch to help the monster friend take deep breaths, think of plans, and try them out! Children will enjoy silly animations and playful interactions as they are exposed to important emotional vocabulary, a calm breathing technique, personalized encouragements, and more.

Features:

• Explore five interactive activities with a unique, everyday challenge
• Tap, pop bubbles, and more to help the monster breathe, think, and do to solve problems and feel better
• Personalize encouraging phrases that children will hear as they help the monster think of a plan
• ”Breathe with the Monster” activity to help children practice taking deep breaths to calm down 
• Robust Parent Section with great resources for navigating everyday challenges with young children

Breathe, Think, Do with Sesame is intended for parents and caregivers to use with children (ages 2-5).
