In this episode, Dr. Alycia Chapman and I are discussing mindfulness in terms of what it is, how we as adults can model mindfulness for children, and how we can teach children age appropriate mindfulness activities. There is abundant research about the positive effects of mindfulness activities for an individual’s wellbeing. Starting to teach children the concepts early can help them develop their own mindfulness practice that will benefit them as they grow. We talk about activities you can engage your child in to practice breathing, calming, and focusing. Doing mindfulness activities together is beneficial to both parent and child.
