- Hello.

(Tamir laughs) (whistle sliding)

Hi.

(whistle sliding)

(Tamir grunts) (boom rising)

I'm Tamir, and this is my show

where we ask important questions

to learn about our neighborhood.

Welcome to, "Tamir on the Street"

♪ Ba, ba, ba, da, bop, bop, Tamir ♪

♪ Ba, ba, ba, da, bop, bop, my show ♪

(laughs)

Today we're answering the question (laughs),

"What are ways we can use breathing to help us feel calm

when we're, you know, feeling angry,

or frustrated, or excited?" (laughs)

Whoa, a volcano! Cool.

(volcano rumbling) (Tamir gasps)

Uh-oh. Oh, come on, let's learn more

about peaceful breathing

before it explodes! (laughs) Whoah!

(volcano popping)

(Ji-Young grunting) (tin rattling)

(Ji-Young sighs) (tin rattling)

- Oh. What's wrong, Ji-Young? (Ji-Young grunting)

- Hi Tamir. (grunts)

- What's going on? (Ji-Young grunts)

- (grunts) You ever feel frustrated?

You know, when you have really big feelings

like you're an exploding volcano?

(Tamir gasps)

- A volcano!

Ji-Young, we can do volcano breaths to help you calm down.

That's when we let our breath explode out

with our big feelings.

- Whoa.

- Yeah.

- Oh, okay.

- Everyone start with your hands together in front of you.

- Okay.

- Yeah, just like that.

There you go. Okay.

Take a deep breath in, raising your hands.

(Tamir inhales) (harp plucking)

- Oh, oh, oh. (inhales) (harp plucking)

- Good. Then let your breath explode out like a volcano!

(exhaling) (crashing music)

(Tamir laughs) (Ji-Young laughs)

Oh, nice.

Well, let's try that again, but this time,

you lead, Ji-Young.

- Oh! Oh, oh, okay! Okay.

Um. Put your hands together in front of you.

- Mhmm.

- Oh, oh, okay.

Take a deep breath in.

- Yes

- While raising your hands.

- Yeah.

(inhaling) (harp plucking)

- And then let your breath explode like a volcano.

(exhaling) (crashing music)

(Tamir laughs) (Ji-Young laughs)

- (grunts) I know you're feeling frustrated, Ji-Young,

but how do you feel after doing some volcano breaths?

- Well, I feel a lot better, Tamir!

Thanks! (laughs) (Tamir laughs)

- That's great. (laughs)

(Tamir sighs) (curious music)

- Numbers.

Hm...

Let's see how these numbers can help us calm down

when we feel angry or frustrated. (laughs)

Come on! (laughs) (upbeat music)

(hurried trilling) (upbeat music)

(tired gasping) (upbeat music)

Oh. Oh, it's right there. (pants)

I just had to stop and take a quick breath. (laughs)

Woo! Okay, I'm good. (laughs)

Oh, hi, Grover!

(Grover exhales) (harp plucking)

(Grover gasps)

- Ah! Hello, Tamir.

- What are you doing, Grover?

- Oh, I am practicing 4-7-8 breathing.

- 4-7-8 breathing? (bells dinging)

- Yes.

I use it whenever I am feeling upset or angry

and it helps me calm down.

- Oh, well, can you show us, Grover?

- Of course!

But we will need somebody to demonstrate.

- Oh.

- Oh, where? Oh, where

will we find somebody to demonstrate?

- Um...I'm right here. I could demonstrate.

- Sold. You have got the job.

- Yes.

- Now let us begin.

- Okay.

- Take a deep breath in for four seconds.

1, 2, 3, 4, (ticking music)

Now hold it for seven seconds.

1, 2, 3, 4, (ticking music)

5, 6, 7. (ticking music)

And breathe out for eight seconds.

1, 2, 3, 4, (Tamir exhales)

5, 6, 7, 8. (ticking music continues)

Ah! Great job!

Let us just do that again.

Now, this time you lead the 4-7-8 breathing, Tamir.

- Oh! Oh, okay. And you'll demonstrate?

- I am the monster for the job!

- Okay, great.

(throat clearing) Okay.

Take a deep breath in for four seconds.

1, 2, 3, 4. (Grover inhales)

Now hold it for seven seconds.

1, 2, 3, 4, (ticking music)

5, 6, 7. (ticking music)

Now breathe out for eight seconds.

1, 2, 3, 4, (Grover exhales)

5, 6, 7, 8. (ticking music)

(laughs) Oh, thanks Grover.

I feel peaceful and calm after that breathing exercise.

- Oh, that is wonderful, Tamir.

- (laughs) Thanks. Oh, I gotta go!

- Okay - Bye!

- Bye-bye!

- Looks like everything is calm here at Tamir on The Street.

Today, Ji-Young learned that one exercise we can use

when we have big feelings is volcano breathing.

Oh. And Grover taught us

that we can use 4-7-8 breathing

when we feel angry or upset. (laughs)

You know,

I'm feeling peaceful and calm (downtempo music)

after a great show with all my friends.

- Aw. (Tamir laughs)

- Yeah, see you next time on

"Tamir on the Street!"

(laughter)

- Oh, thank you. Thank you.
