Mindful Kids
Build a Foundation
Kids are often very inquisitive, curious, and ACTIVE! However, at times, many kids can also be very impulsive, judgmental, and distracted....which can present challenges in school, at home, and with peers. Social-emotional skills can take years to fully develop. The skills gained from mindfulness training build the foundation for all other learning and, some say, are a strong determining factor in one's future happiness, success, and over all well-being.
Establishing a Mindfulness Practice at a young age can help to build a solid social-emotional foundation:
. Self-management skills (self-regulation, self-awareness, body awareness)
. Coping strategies (maintain emotional balance)
. Resiliency (perseverance, growth mindset)
. Compassion for self and others (kindness practices)
. Attention/focus skills (managing our busy minds, staying in the zone)
Establishing a Mindfulness Practice can also teach kids healthy habits of mind and body:
. Taking care of ourselves (physically, mentally)
. Eating healthy (slowing down, experience eating, awareness of food choices, hydration)
. Sleeping (recharging our bodies and minds)
. Listening to our body's signals, before injury or accident (intuition)
. Tuning-in more to our Inner Coach and less to our Inner Critic
Kids can learn and develop a mindfulness practice:
. In group classes with family/friends
. In private/coaching sessions
. With the Mindful Mini-Breaks Video Series for Kids in Grades 3-5
