Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a life-long skill for children to learn.  It helps them to be confident to deal with daily challenges.  By simply paying attention to breathing out and breathing in, they start to feel calm inside.  It is important to children to be able to name their feelings and notice them, even upsetting ones, so we can start to work things out together.

The 3 Principles of Mindfulness

Intention:  choosing to cultivate your awareness

Attention:  to the present moment, sensations, and thoughts

Attitude:  being kind, curious, and non-judgemental
