Event Overview

Mindfulness, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence skills have become essentials in navigating the world. Combined, these skills have been shown to help with childhood anxiety, temper tantrums, sleep issues, and handling difficult emotions. Mindfulness, in particular, has also been shown to grow creativity. 


In this class, you and your child come together to do some fun activities designed to teach mindfulness, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence at their most basic level.

WHAT WILL BE COVERED

.....Stress Reducing Breathing. We use pinwheels to learn several anti-anxiety and calming breath techniques.

.....Movement Based Meditations. We learn ways to combat stress using the Firework, Milkshake, and Crocodile Meditations.

.....Cultivate Positive Emotions. We learn meditations to help grow feelings of love, compassion, and gratitude for ourselves and others.

.....Best Self Practice. We learn some basic affirmations to help build and water the seeds of our best selves to help with self-awareness and emotional control.


More information about each of these techniques and how to use them is provided for you to read before or after class. 


Yes, you can have fun and learn the basics of some very valuable skills at the same time!
