17 ways to teach mindfulness to children
03/07/2019
What exactly is mindfulness, and why is it relevant for children? Mindfulness enables you to concentrate on the moment, in body, mind, and environment. Through its beginnings in Buddhism, it has developed to help to increase self-awareness, to be in control of your thoughts and negative feelings, to feel calmer, and to be kinder and more at peace with yourself. There are lots of ways of achieving this, and it has numerous benefits for any age group. Getting young minds into the habit of thinking this way will help them to deal with stressful situations, both now and later, and will enable them to make judgements and decisions with confidence. It will aid their concentration and encourage calmness, too - but how do you teach mindfulness to children?

Yoga and Pilates have become two of the most popular pastimes for adults – they are fantastic ways to be mindful. However, we are only now beginning to talk about ways in which children can look after their emotional wellbeing in the same way. The fact that that is changing can only be a good thing.

- What could be more important than a child's wellbeing? Sport in schools is just of the issues though. There is far, far more to a child's wellbeing than sport. https://t.co/42ut1IvKtt
- We couldn't agree more with Bella. Her book Jog On also inspired one of our team when they were feeling low on the way to running the London Marathon earlier this year. Great to see someone like Bella talking about such an important subject. https://t.co/UN7s8ZfZQs
