windmill

Find an open space, and stand approximately five feet across from your child. Open your arms and stand so that your ankles are directly under your wrists (wide stance). Inhale, and place your hands on your hips. Exhale, fold forward, and place the palm of your left hand on the floor. It's okay if you have to bend your knees to do this. On the inhale, raise your right hand up towards the sky and gaze up at it. Exhale, bring that arm down and place the palm of your right hand on the floor. On the inhale, raise your left hand up towards the sky and gaze up at it.

Repeat this sequence for five inhales and exhales. Try to slow your breath like a slow-moving windmill. Your child might want to move fast, but encourage them to slow down. Have them imagine that a very light breeze is blowing. This is great for concentration, and it's an excellent upper-body twist. Do as many rounds as is comfortable.
