Parents Breathing techniques???!?

[Sweetbrunette00]

Okay so I'm wondering if any parents or coaches can help me with this.
My dd is 7.5yrs and level 3
She is having trouble breathing lol.
By that I mean when she has to squeeze and tighten her abdomen with gallows and stuff she isn't breathing!
Her coach and I have tried to help her breathe but she's still so little she hasn't quite figured out controlling her body.
Does anyone know any techniques or things we can practice to help her so she doesn't breathe through her belly and hold her breathe but breathes in her chest and stays tight.

Look up Ram Dev from India.

Ram Dev/pranayama. He has his own training facilities in India especially for small children.

My DD (8) had been holding her breath during handstands, which inevitably shortened the length of time she could remain vertical. But she seems to be improving after it was pointed out to her... But mostly I think, it was due to time and awareness!

She also has been practicing some yoga which I'm sure helps!!

I will check it out and try some yoga at home!! Great suggestions!!
We have been practicing at home becoming more aware seems to help.
I think those are both really great suggestions thank you!

DD (7yo L3) has had to work to learn proper breathing as well. This site has a few articles on breathing drills (with videos) that my daughter did to help. It's still a work in progress, but she only has to be reminded every once in a while. http://www.hybridperspective.com/2015/05/10/5-reasons-why-training-proper-breathing-is-key-part-1/
