Mindfulness is the awareness of the present moment. Paying attention to what’s going on inside and outside of us, right here and right now.
Mindfulness can directly improve the lives of children and teens in significant ways. Research suggests that children and teens who practice mindfulness benefit from:
• Increased emotional regulation
• Improve attention, concentration, memory and recall
• Enhance academic success
• Increased self esteem
• Increased sense of relaxation, calmness and self-love
• Increased quality of sleep
• Reduce anxiety, depression and negative emotions
• Cultivate coping skills
• Increase the ability to problem solve and make responsible decisions
• Build Healthy relationships
• Improve behavioural patterns
Our current education system focuses on academic performance, there is little emphasis on social and emotional learning. Melinda is inspired to fulfil this gap by gently guiding and nurturing children with watering the seeds of mindfulness in children. Melinda inspires to involve the whole child including the body, mind and heart.
