About Mindful and Kindful Kids
Would you like your child:
- to respond more calmly to the rough and tumble of growing up?
- to manage moments of anxiety with ease?
- to be able to focus in a world of never-ending distraction?
You have probably noticed that your child, when younger, was more naturally able to live in the present moment, able to engage fully with the task at hand, and had a natural curiosity. As young children we tend to be more mindfully engaged in the present moment. You may also have noticed that as the busyness of life takes over, this natural capacity becomes obscured resulting in more distraction and more worrying thoughts. The good news is that with training we can learn to reconnect to this innate capacity. Research has recognised the benefits of teaching mindfulness to young children. Along with enhancing the developing brain, the benefits include:
- reduced stress and anxiety
- improved focus and awareness
- more compassion and kindness
- stronger relationships
- and even higher life satisfaction
The four-week course is a fun and interactive way of teaching mindfulness skills to young children and will include:
- mindful movement
- mindful creativity
- being kind to ourselves and others
- learning where big emotions sit in our bodies
- breathing activities to help manage big emotions when they arise
