Mindfully You

Mindfulness can be described to children as slowing down, being present in the current

moment, and being aware of our actions and how they impact ourselves and others.

Mindfulness requires the right tools, experiences and modeling to develop. That’s why I created this program as an emotional development tool at Children’s Healing Studio Ltd.

This is a 4-week program that supports children in practicing mindfulness. It is designed for

children between 7-10 years old.

Program Description:

In the most simplest form, mindfulness can be defined as a simple technique that encourages

children to pay attention to the present moment in an accepting and nonjudgmental manner.

Mindfulness teaches children to listen into their own bodies, become aware of their emotions

and behaviours, and learn to be mindful of how their thoughts and emotions translate into

behaviours that may have positive or negative impacts on themselves and others. Mindfulness

has become an essential component of children’s development in order to decrease anxiety, promote happiness, and build relationships.

Program Goals:

•Children will learn to identify and verbally express their feelings.

•Children will learn to use mindfulness as a tool for identifying their triggers that lead to

difficult behaviours.

•Children will identify and practice helpful mindfulness strategies to use during challenging

experiences.

•Children will learn how to use mindfulness as a tool for understanding their actions and how

those actions impact themselves and others.

•Children will practice developing strategies for managing their behaviour.

•Children will practice positive affirmations and problem solving, both of which will support

them during difficult times.

Each week your child will come home with a mindfulness tool or technique to help them with being present and aware of themselves and their surroundings. This in turn, will support them in managing challenging behaviours.
