Is your child struggling to maintain focus for extended periods? Do they often feel overwhelmed by the daily barrage of stimuli? If so, this course offers the perfect solution, empowering children to understand their emotions and learn invaluable mindfulness techniques for everyday life. As a mindfulness coach with a decade of experience supporting kids and teens, I specialize in guiding kids through a variety of mindfulness techniques designed to boost their focus, strengthen self-regulation, cultivate empathy, and navigate challenging situations with confidence. Together, we’ll work on empowering you to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively, helping you build skills for lifelong emotional resilience and self-awareness. Over the years of teaching mindfulness to students, I have witnessed profound transformations in children. Through mindfulness, they develop the ability to pause, reflect, and respond thoughtfully. Mindfulness isn't just about being calm; it's about fully engaging with life. In this class, I make mindfulness fun and engaging, providing children with practical tools they can apply in their lives. Mindfulness practices cultivate a learning-ready mindset, teaching children to focus their attention effectively. They'll develop enhanced concentration, emotional management skills, and the ability to find calm amidst challenges. No prior knowledge is necessary to embark on this mindfulness journey. Each session concludes with a weekly challenge, allowing students to apply their newfound skills and share their experiences. Through reflection, students become more aware of their progress and the impact of their mindfulness practice.
Learning Goals
Enhance Focus and Awareness – Students will develop the ability to stay present, improve concentration, and manage distractions in their daily lives.
Regulate Emotions and Reduce Stress – Students will learn mindfulness techniques to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions, helping them respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.
