Have you ever wondered why we
teach our kids about looking
after the body, but we don't
really teach them how to look
after the mind?
Teaching them about meditation
at an early age would set them
up for life.
But we all know that sitting
quietly isn't that easy.
It's not easy for us as grown
ups so think how hard
it is for kids.
They'd much rather be out and
about having fun,
getting dirty, than sitting
still with their eyes closed
for 10 minutes.
So here at Headspace we've
created some activities and
meditations especially for
them with themes like calm,
kindness, and even bedtime.
We created these sessions for
children and parents to enjoy
together.
Each activity is different
depending on how old your child
is.
There are exercises designed
for toddlers,
pre-teens, and every age
in-between.
This really is the best of both
worlds -- quality time with
your child while teaching them
a valuable skill for life.
And hey, who knows,
maybe you'll even get a little
extra headspace for yourself.
