Dr. Amoneeta discusses the positive impact of beginning a meditation practice at the youngest of ages. Squirming kids seems like a tough request for sitting still on a cushion, and that is why Dr. Amoneeta created the A-E-I-O-U and Y vowel version of teaching children in engaging ways the components and skills that are fun to learn and practice. Any teacher or parent can work with children using his model.

Dr. Rebecca Jackson and I discuss how to help learners get caught up this year by helping parents create a homework strategy that includes considerations for the state of the child’s brain. Dr. Jackson explains the individual and daily fluctuations in the status of the brain that can impact a child’s ability to focus, concentrate, control impulses and more. She offers ways to improve these skills and capacities. A fascinating interview!
