  1. The youngest person I know, is Aaron's little brother Blake. Well, he's the youngest person I see occasionally anyways. When Blake cries or screams, he usually takes one big inhale in and then he lets it all out in one big burst of tears or yells. From what I can remember of him is that his belly rises and his chests expands when he inhales. When he finally exhales and screams his chest and belly relaxes and shrinks. This is probably because his diaphragm is pushing out the air, while when he inhales the diaphragm relaxes to let more air in. Hopefully, that's a good answer! :)

  2. When my sister was a baby she didn't really cry alot. She was really quite but when she did cry she would scream and scream. Her eyes would be tightly closed and her mouth would move as she screamed. Her mouth would get wider when she screamed louder and when she breathed her mouth got smaller. She took sharp inhales that were quick then scream for a few minutes. She didn't really move around to much, just her arms would flail and she would kick her legs around a little.

  3. The youngest person I know would be my niece, Hinatea. When she cries, she closes her eyes and takes deep breathes to let it out. When she screams or yells, she uses short breathes and eventually has to catch her breath pausing for a while to take multiple deep breathes. As she cries, she usually lays back or puts her face down. When she is sad, she will make that classic sad face like she's about to cry and if you don't know how to cheer her up quick, she will cry and then, scream.

  4. When babies cry, they have their hands up an mouths wide open. I think that they arc their backs. Most let out long cries I think that their chests move up and down. Or was it their bellies? I know that their eyes are usually closed and filled with tears. The babies that I see are usually quiet and they stare at me with big eyes. When they do cry, I'm usually not around.

  5. The youngest person I know is my baby niece, Aizhyalyn. She is about four years old and she screams. A lot. Even for the slightest things. Aizhyalyn screams loud and continuously. She takes like a really big breathe and then lets it out in a high pitched for so long. What happens is she just opens her mouth wide and the screams. So I am guessing if you open your mouth wider then you will get more air out of your trachea than if you were to open you mouth a little bit. Aizhyalyn has to stop for a minute or two to breathe and then she starts right back up again. She has a big mouth. So she uses her air well. She can go on for quite a while. So she cries mostly with long breaths and her mouth wide open. Is that what we are going to learn, Mr. Treble Clef?

    teachers two year old kids Josiah, Jayvin and Jaqulin. They are triplets, but I think out of the three, Josiah is the loudest. He eather cries or screams because he wants something or fighting with someone, or he is just playing around. He screams with short breaths I think. He just breathes in and justs screams or cries. When he inhales I think his stomach goes out then when he yells his stomach goes in. Well that's it, I hope this is good enough!
