A Time For Mindfulness

“We do not know what specific knowledge our children are going to need ten or twenty or even five years from now because the world and their work, when they come to it, will be so different from ours.

What we do know is that they will need to know how to pay attention, how to focus and concentrate, how to listen, how to learn, and how to be in a wise relationship with themselves – including their thoughts and emotions – and with others.” –

Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mindfulness in Education, 2013.

The Covid 19 pandemic has had an unprecedented effect on our lives and is undoubtedly a formative experience in the lives of children and young people. Anxiety levels are increasing, and there is a great need to protect and nurture the emotional health and well-being of children. In order to thrive, it is vital that children develop resilience and are equipped to deal with the ups and downs of life. A growing body of research identifies real benefits of mindfulness for young people. To read more about the research, click here Benefits of Mindfulness

The benefits of teaching mindfulness and encouraging resilience in children are endless; reduced stress and anxiety, improved health and wellbeing, enhanced creativity and improved concentration. Teaching children these skills is not only fulfilling and rewarding - which is why I do it - but also so much fun!

I have always been a firm believer in the maxim - Prepare the child for the path, not the path for the child.
