La conciencia plena
This short mindfulness video for kids explains that we are separate from our feelings. Our mind is like a pond full of fish. The fish are our feelings. They come and go - and we can observe them - without getting swept up by them.
This exercise teaches how to gain control of your stressful energy when it becomes too hard to handle.
