Mindful Fun for Kids

MINDFUL FUN

Send your little explorer on an adventure into mindfulness at the beautiful Rockaby Farms Barn. 

They will learn simple, quick and fun ways to bring mindfulness into their everyday lives in the form of play and an exploration of curiosity. 

We'll be doing exercises with some props (toys) that your child can take home, such as :

• "What comes to mind first?" will explain what Mindfulness is
• VisitingAliens learning to experience food for the first time, this practice can lead to healthier eating habits, an awareness of our body’s messages and signals
• Detectives learning to uncover what's going on inside our body and mind
• "Breathing (Balancing) Buddies" with your kid's favorite stuffie to learn to focus the mind and redirect, this is a powerful practice to help children become aware of their body, their thoughts and how to redirect their focus back into the present moment when perhaps they are having troubling or upsetting thoughts nagging them. 
• The "Magic Bell" will help your kids to pay close attention to the present moment and utilize their sensitivities and perception in a new way 
• "Touch-and-Tell" with different objects teaches children to isolate their senses and tune into their momentary experiences

Benefits of these practices, and mindfulness, include: improved ability to focus, improve memory, reduction in stress, anxiety and reactivity, better behavior and emotional management, increased self esteem, quicker to calm down and relax when upset, and increased empathy. 

Handouts for parents will include ways to implement Mindfulness into your daily lives, in really fun and simple ways, that can strengthen your bond and the quality time your family spends together. 

$25 a child includes workshop, props (toys) and handout materials for parents to take home.
