Why it’s important:
Learning to blow air gently through the nose is a step toward independently managing runny noses, which is important in a classroom setting.

How to do it:
Place a feather or cotton ball on a table and encourage your child to blow it using controlled breaths. Keep it light and playful.

What to look for:

• Attempts controlled blowing
• Understands how to use breath intentionally
• Shows progress over time
