When I feel frustrated, I take some belly breaths. Want to try some monster meditation belly breaths together? Oh, monster meatball? I'll try a monster meatball. (laughs) No, meditation. So, it's an activity to help you take a breath before building your tower again. You, too. You, too. Do meditation too. Let's start by focusing ourselves with some belly breaths.

Now imagine that you're building your block tower again. Ooh, that's nice. Oh, that's so pretty. Ooh, that's nice. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Whoa!
