What are some mindfulness activities I can do with my children?

There are many fun mindfulness activities you can try! One popular activity is a "mindful breathing" exercise where you and your children take deep breaths together, focusing on the rise and fall of your bellies.

That sounds great! Can you suggest another activity?

Sure! You can try a "nature walk" where you explore the outdoors and encourage your children to notice the sights, sounds, and smells around them.

What about something we can do indoors?

An indoor activity could be a "mindful jar" where you fill a jar with water, glitter, and a few drops of food coloring. Shake it up and watch the glitter settle as you practice deep breathing.

How long should we spend on these activities?

Start with just 5-10 minutes for each activity, and you can gradually increase the time as your children become more comfortable with mindfulness.
