Raising children isn\u2019t exactly the easiest, especially when they\u2019re in the middle of a tantrum. However, one 6-year-old has mastered the concept of practicing breathing exercises in stressful situations, and even helped avert what could\u2019ve been a tantrum from his 4-year-old brother.<\/p>\n
Ashley West, the kids’ mom, captured it all on video. She saw her middle son Noah calming his little brother, Cory, using a breathing exercise. She immediately filmed this special moment and uploaded it to Twitter — only to find out later that it had gone viral.<\/p>\n
She captioned the tweet: \u201cMy four-year-old was about to have a whole tantrum and my 6-year-old helped him manage his breathing so he could calm down\u2026 I\u2019d say I\u2019m doing freaking alright.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the 21-second-clip, Noah stands in front of Cory — who\u2019s crying — and encourages him to continue breathing in and out<\/a><\/strong>, miming what he wants his younger brother to do.<\/p>\n According to West, Cory’s almost-tantrum was triggered by an all-too-familiar catastrophe. “He wanted to play the Nintendo — if you have kids or have been around any you know they think it\u2019s fully charged after being plugged for only a millisecond… anyway it wasn\u2019t and he started having a little meltdown till big bro intervened.\u201d<\/p>\n
