Using index cards or post-its, show your child lowercase "d" and "b" and point out how similar they look. Prepare a set of words that start with "b" and "d" (like dog, dot, bat, bug) and have your child sort them into two piles: one for "b" and one for "d". You can also include uppercase "D" and "B" to help reinforce the difference between the two letters!

Downward Dog Pose
Begin by having your child start in table pose—on their hands and knees. Guide them to press firmly into their hands as they slowly lift their knees, bringing their chest and belly toward their thighs. Encourage them to form an upside-down “V” shape with their body, ensuring they distribute their weight evenly between their hands and feet.
Doggie Breath
If your child is feeling upset, invite them to stick their tongue out and practice "doggie breath," which looks like a dog panting. This playful breathing exercise helps shift their focus and calm their mind, often making them forget what was bothering them!
