Have a nice, grounding moment between mother and child. I looked around for some good techniques for introducing kids to box breathing (breathe in 4 seconds, hold 4 seconds, breathe out 4 seconds, hold 4 seconds) and this was what I found. I really like it!

Why is he having a panic attack exactly? Has he had these before? I forget

We haven't seen one before. This is reminding her of an earlier tragedy where a friend died. That's probably when her mom learned how to do the "flowers and bubbles" from a healer.

The panel with the laying of the paws; I dunno what it is, but that is really well done and tells a lot. And having used a variation of the breathing exercises, they really do help in getting you back to center.

Looks like this isn’t Parsley’s having a panic attack. It would make sense since he’s more aware of what’s going on around him and probably thinks about things too much.

She was on the edge of one or a major tantrum or beating herself up. Breathing consciously makes you focus on one detail.
