Do
A simple exercise to empower your child with mindfulness.
- Tell your child to imagine themselves as a boat.
- Throughout the day, their boat will be rocked (storms, waves, wind).
- But they can always rely on their anchor, which is their breath.
- Together, put a hand on your bellies, another on your chests, and take some deep breaths.
An easy-to-remember technique that resonates with children of all ages. Strengthening your child’s emotional literacy, self-help and independent coping skills says to them, “Your feelings are valid and important. You can feel strong.”
