Bye Bye Thought Bubbles: Mindfulness for young children

By Shob Madrugar

Young children can be immensely challenging to raise. A child experiences the natural highs and lows that are part of growing up. It is too easy for the parent be buffeted by the child's emotional roller-coaster. But in time, mindfulness practice can relieve parents and caregivers from some of the pressures of identifying with every up or down the child experiences. Parents can start practicing mindfulness with their children and give them this amazing tool of self-awareness to their future success. As early as toddlerhood, a child can begin to experience and understand mindfulness. When your child is in a good mood, mindfulness exercises can help them become familiar with the sensation of happiness and gratitude. And when he gets upset, mindfulness can help him move on from the fleeting experiences that made him cry to less upsetting sensations. We don't pretend that the bad isn't happening, but let's also think about the good things that are happening right now. "Bye Bye Thought Bubbles" will get you started in talking about "breath" and introduce the word "thoughts". They may not understand thought the way we understand it, but with practice and your loving guidance, they will slowly form their own mental image of what it means and can make mindfulness as a part of their lifelong journey.
