Children and parents can both benefit from mindfulness. It can be described as the simple practice of bringing a gentle, accepting attitude to the present moment.

Daily routines can assist children in having a calm a relaxing experience first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

The process when modelled can help parents and caregivers, too, by promoting happiness and relieving stress. Here, we offer basic tips for children and adults of all ages, as well as several activities that develop compassion, focus, curiosity and empathy.

And remember that when we model the behaviour we wish to view in our children, mindfulness can also be fun.
