Mindfulness and Compassion for Kids
Mindfulness is a practice for the mind and heart. The practices shared in this program will create opportunities for children to develop greater awareness of themselves, and to explore compassion both for themselves as well as others.
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
Every Thursday, 5-week series is available to kids ages 10-13
Fee $100 per child
