Mindfulness for Children
Warm Fuzzy Wishes
Instructions:
Climb into bed. Take five deep breaths to calm our bodies.
Explain to your child how kindness can send good vibes out into the world. And that it’s important to send well wishes to those we love. Have your little one pick any two people they want. (Don’t forget the family pet.)
Instruct them to say out loud something they love about this person. Then, you will take turns sending a well wish out to the universe. You will need to guide your child at first.
Warm Fuzzy Wishes Examples:
I hope Daddy gets home early tomorrow so he can have dinner with us
I will help Mummy to tidy up my room tomorrow
I will take Rocco the dog for a walk tomorrow
I hope my baby brother feels better tomorrow
I send a big kiss and cuddle to my friend Piper because I miss her.
Breathing Buddies
Instructions:
Ask your little one to lie down and put his/her favourite teddy on their belly.
Ask them to inhale deeply for a count of three. Then ask them to exhale for a count of 4.
Watch the teddy rise and fall as they breathe in and out. Do 5 to 10 rounds.
See if they can rock teddy to sleep.
