Introduce your child to "playing" mindfully through mindful games, group activities and focus awareness practices
Research has found that mindfulness training increases attention and social emotional awareness.
Some evidence-based benefits of mindfulness practice for kids include (but are not limited to):
- Improved focus and memory retention
- Increased self-awareness; body, thoughts and feelings
- Increased feelings of kindness and connectedness with self and others
- Increased impulse-control and decision making
