What is Mindfulness?
It is nothing other than present-moment awareness, an open and friendly willingness to understand what is going on in and around you.
Why Mindfulness for Kids?
Mindfulness for kids provides a way to be both physically and mentally calm in demanding times. You not only have to be calm but aware as well. By being present and aware (mindfully), kids learn to pause for a moment, to catch their breath, and to get a sense of what they need at this moment in time.
