Mindfulness Activities:

  • Five Things: Taking time to intentionally observe the world around you and notice things you would normally overlook helps the brain sort through distracting or stressful thoughts. This quickly focuses our minds on the present moment. Try teaching your child this strategy as a game: sit down together and tell them five things you see, feel, smell, or hear. Then give them a turn. Explain the benefits of just noticing the world around us and that they can use this little game when they start to feel overwhelmed or anxious.

  • Heartbeat Counting: For one minute, hold a hand to your chest and observe how your heartbeat and breathing feel. This helps you notice the rhythm of your own body and set aside the stress of living for the future. Smaller kids may have fun counting their heartbeats to see how many times their heart beats in a minute.

  • Deep Breathing: While this might sound extremely simple, one of the best parts about mindfulness is that it can be simple if you want it to be. Breathing in and out slowly and deeply while noticing things you hear or feel is one of the most common ways to destress and reset after a long day or event.

  • Mindfulness Walk: Have your child take a walk around the neighborhood or even in the driveway, while carefully listening for as many sounds as they can hear. Have them report back to you about everything they heard. This is an easy way to give your children an opportunity for movement and to enjoy centering their mind in the present moment.
