Let’s face it… life can get downright painful at times. Especially when you’re a kid. And being a parent or guardian is not always a picnic either… is it?
Let’s face it… life can get downright painful at times. Especially when you’re a kid. And being a parent or guardian is not always a picnic either… is it?
Luckily, we ALL have magic at our fingertips… and right under our noses too!
Shhh… Don’t tell the kids, but it only seems like magic. “Magic Buttons” is kidspeak for really simple skills that empower kids to easily calm themselves down, focus, and feel better fast.
“Magic Buttons” is a much more exciting idea for kids than Mindful Belly Button Breathing and EFT Tapping. And, hey, there’s a kid inside every adult too, right? Magic Buttons can make life way more fun and exciting for everyone in the family! If you use them…!
When you focus on your Belly Button and breathe deeply, it helps you calm down and relax, so you can focus and think clearly.
How? A small gland in the brain, known as the “fear center” or amygdala, is to blame for most over-reactions. Deep diaphragmatic breathing calms it down while giving an oxygen boost to the brain so you can think clearly.
But most kids (and many adults) have a hard time focusing on breathing — forget about breathing deeply – when they’re feeling upset or pressured.
If 5 BIG Belly Button Breaths didn’t quite do the trick, that’s okay. There’s 10 more Magic Buttons at your finger tips, and they calm the amygdala too!
Just tap your finger tips on each acupressure point, a few times, and say the magic words. In a few minutes, you (or your child) will feel calm, confident, and ready to concentrate, behave or perform at full potential.
And that all adds up quite nicely… confidence + self-esteem = success!

In fact, the “Magic Buttons” are actually evidence-based strategies that can make a huge difference, FAST… for kids, teenagers, and adults, whenever anxiety, anger, sadness, pain or confusion starts to snowball into a bad day.
