Better Breathing After My Operation

Instant access: download immediately after checkout (also sent by email).

What this story helps your child understand

  • Why it was hard to breathe before surgery (blockages explained simply)
  • What happened during their tonsil & adenoid operation
  • That soreness after surgery is normal — and temporary
  • How to practise breathing through the nose as a new healthy habit

Healthy habits gently reinforced

  • Lips resting closed (when not eating or talking)
  • Tongue resting up on the palate
  • Nasal breathing during rest, play, and sleep
  • Calm breathing during meals and daily activities

Why support after surgery matters

Removing tonsils and adenoids clears the physical blockage — but many children continue mouth breathing out of habit. This story helps children relearn nasal breathing in a way that feels safe, positive, and empowering.

  • Encourages better sleep and rest
  • Supports immune health through nasal breathing
  • Helps prevent a return to mouth breathing patterns
  • Builds confidence during recovery

What’s included

  • Illustrated digital social story (PDF)
  • Child-friendly explanations using simple language
  • Breathing encouragement through humming and play
  • Print-friendly A4 format

Who it’s for

  • Children recovering from tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy
  • Parents wanting to support nasal breathing after surgery
  • Families noticing ongoing mouth breathing or snoring
  • Clinicians supporting post-operative breathing habits
