About

The Very Stuffy Nose

Kelley Richardson, B.S.

The Very Stuffy Nose is a 34-page, 11″ x 8.5″, paperback book telling the story of a boy who starts breathing through his mouth after getting a cold. His habitual mouth breathing leads to long term nasal congestion affecting his ability to smell.
 
This story educates on the consequences of mouth breathing and the benefits of nasal breathing. Kelley Richardson details her own experience as a parent struggling to help her son with chronic congestion, inflammation, poor sleep and restlessness. Kelley has helped countless others with the message of how simple changes in breathing and sleep can result in positive improvements in behavior, growth and development.

What Our Readers Say

Patrick McKeown Oxygen Advantage - Best Selling Author & International Expert on Breathing and Sleep

A wonderful book! Conveys the importance of nose breathing for children - something which is really underestimated. Any child who is persistently open mouth breathing can impact the development and shape of their jaws, teeth, sleep, academic achievement, and mood.
Dr. Kevin L. Boyd, MS, DDS Trailblazer in Airway-Focused Orthodontics

Introducing Sleep Disordered Breathing to parents through a children's story. Chronic congestion and mouth breathing are interconnected and contribute to disrupted sleep, impacting healthy development. Achieving restorative sleep is crucial for overall well-being and prevents potential long-term issues. Early diagnosis plays a vital role, and Airway Dentists specialize in addressing the root cause.
Dr. Susan Maples, DDS Dentist, Speaker, Author and Business Consultant

With allergies and chronic congestion at an all-time high, finally...here's a book to teach KIDS how to end mouth breathing, naturally clear their nasal passages and get back to healthy living! It's not only motivating and instructional but gorgeous to look at and FUN to read.
Dr. Scott A. Saunders, DDS President of Healthy Mouth Media

As a dentist and lifelong oral-systemic health writer, editor, researcher, and interviewer, I’ve finally learned this basic message: The nose is for BREATHING...the mouth is for EATING. Just as importantly: mouth breathing is NEVER normal, no matter what ANYONE – even your health-care professional – tells you.
Dr. Stanton Young, DMD Cosmetic Dentist, NoHo Dental

It was a good nighttime book read for our 4 year old. I entirely agree regarding the benefits of nasal breathing. I also believe that embracing a non-processed food diet will significantly help prevent generalized inflammation as well as a runny or congested nose.
Cindy Archilles, RDH, MFT Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH), and Myofunctional Therapist (MFT)

Three days ago, the mom of my young client read, "The Very Stuffy Nose" after arriving a bit early for her son's Myofunctional evaluation. She LOVED it!! She took her son to 3 specialists (Allergist, ENT, and Pulmonologist) for chronic congestion... they found "nothing wrong", wrote prescriptions, but NONE asked about his breathing. Mom was validated!! Thanks to you Kelley.
