I am a Physiotherapist who works with Respiratory disease including the management of hyperventilation syndrome that those with type A personalities (amongst others causes) are prone to developing. We teach patients to focus on exhalation and rebreathing or doing anything rhythmical with a 3 beat (like singing) with a 2/3 emphysis on exhalation. I have never managed children though but became interested in the field knowing I too suffered as a child and suffered terribly badly whlst pregnant with twins.
