DEVELOPING RESILIENCE IN CHILDREN: “WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS WITH MINDFULNESS!”
Mindfulness practices can help children develop their resilience, support their ability to work through their thoughts and feelings, and help build empathy for those around them too. Little ones learn about the importance of taking a moment to stop, take a breath, and then carry on with a clearer mind.
Children can develop emotional or behavioural problems such as anger and anxiety if high levels of stress are left unattended, which can result in damaging their brain and causing the onset of emotional problems. We can practice breathing techniques and mindful moments, say healing mantras, do yoga and meditate to help. Let's begin by practicing this mantra together: "I am strong, I care about myself and others. My feelings are ok."
May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you be loved.
We are here for you, for them.
