Mindful Minutes: Take 5 and Shapes

Mindfulness can be learned at any age! When you give young children developmentally appropriate strategies to identify and manage strong feelings, they learn how to be more in control of their own feelings which can lead to processing healthy ways to discuss those feelings with a trusted adult or peer. Teach young children that being mindful at their age is making themselves aware of how they feel, learning techniques of how to calm and control those feelings, and eventually talking to someone they trust about those feelings. The goal is to help the young mind develop natural coping skills to handle stress and strong emotions well into the future! Length: 5:04; 3-5 yrs
