Things to do with your child

Zen Den Mindfulness 

 To understand how our brain works and how to bring ourselves back from strong feelings

When we’re feeling stressed, our brain tries really hard to protect us. It’s really nice of it, but sometimes it can go too far and make us panic! It’s helpful for children to understand that sometimes our brain overreacts like this, and to learn how we can bring ourselves back. 

This  video ‘The Owl and the Guard Dog’ explains this really nicely, and is one of Zen Den's  most popular Zen Den episodes to use an activity for Children’s Mental Health Week.
