Leanne S New Daily Mindfulness for children (&adults)

In light of everything that is going on, with us being at home, more anxious about things and being kept indoors more often. During this time i have found that a thing called mindfulness can help. Therefore i thought i would share some online mindfulness videos for children that will hopefully help create calmness, quiet, content and enhance listening and attention skills.

Mindfulness videos are different from the daily yoga/dance video as those types of videos are longer and more active (i will still upload these each day) whereas the  videos i will upload about mindfulness will be again from Cosmic Kids but will be short bursts of 5 mins or so and this is ideal for children to just switch off, wind down and relax. This is great i have found for first thing in the morning, middle of the day when children can become agitated and end of the day before bed.

I will upload an introductory video explaining what it is and how to do it. And will upload the first proper mindfulness video tomorrow.

Leanne S New daily Listening & attention challenge

Morning boys and girls,

Listening and attention is crucial for children to be able to listen to what is going on and respond appropriately whilst focusing on what is being said. I have therefore created a daily listening and attention challenge where the boys and girls need to sit, listen and respond and guess what they can hear.
