Child-friendly mindfulness

In this video, we practice one way of being mindful with your children.

In this video, we practice one way of being mindful with your children. Other ways to practice mindfulness with your children include:

  • Breathing in the smell of the flower, out the candle
  • Taking a walk in nature and noticing the present moment.
  • Mindful eating
  • Mindful drawing
  • Making a mindful “snow” globe
  • Sensory mindfulness – Give something, like a small fruit to each child, then practice observing it using each of the five senses. You can repeat this activity with multiple objects, or even the same one over and over again: Hearing, Smelling, Tasting, Feeling, Hearing (if possible!)
