In today’s world, young children are inundated with responsibilities, hectic schedules and peer pressure.
Teaching children mindfulness can help.
Mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress, enhance empathy, increase focus and emotional literacy, improve sleep, and help us to self-regulate.
Mindfulness brings more pleasure to everyday activities and moments of joy too.
Why wouldn’t we teach our children this life-enhancing skill?
“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
Feel more calm, connected
A child's big feelings can be challenging for them and us. Distracting a child from their emotions doesn't teach them emotional literacy and rushing to fix the problem doesn't teach them to self-regulate.
That's why mindfulness can help - us and them.
Mindfulness helps us to pause, calm and restore ourselves, so we can encourage our children understand their experience and model self-regulation skills. The mindfulness tools in The Little Tiger with the Big Temper are a win-win for everyone - in the home and the classroom.
