Mindfulness
What is Mindfulness?
- Present-moment awareness of thoughts, feelings, and senses for the purpose of better management of stressors
- Act of purposefully paying attention to self and self-in-relation, in the unfolding of moment-to-moment experiences
- Awareness, practices, application (Schonert-Reichl & Roeser, 2016)
Mindfulness for Children
- Children have the embodiment of the Zen “beginner’s mind.” (Willard, 2010)
- Learn and accept personal responsibility for their lives while externalizing events beyond their control -
- Separate their personal identities from a situation, emotion, or event
- Exploration of effective coping mechanisms
- Integrating experiential activities that incorporate verbal fluency and promote reasoning using games, activities, and stories (Tadlock-Marlo, 2011)
There's an App for that!
