How Mindfulness Can Help Children and Teenagers:
Mindfulness is a skill children and teenagers can learn,
that can help them to comfortably be themselves.
They’ll learn how to practice mindfulness both
regularly to help them in their day-to-day lives, as well
as during more challenging times when they need to
find calmness and to centre themselves. It’s something
they can do quietly, on their own for a few minutes or
for longer if they like, and then return to their regular
activities feeling refreshed and more peaceful.
