Social anxiety is something that all of us deal with. When we can incorporate our breath as a tool to calm, we gain confidence trusting in ourselves. Our breath is our super power and has the power to relax us so that we can accomplish anything, whether that is meeting new people, raising our hand to answer a question in class, or trying something new. Mindfulness is an important theme in 'The Paper Girls Show'.

Happy Day, Friend! In this podcast episode, I'm sharing four (4) myths about teaching kids mindfulness. There have been quite a few of them over the decade I've been doing this work, but I boiled it down to the top four. In knowing these myths, you can anticipate other people sharing them, and feel more confident in educating them about mindful-based social-emotional learning and educating the whole child. These myths might pop up in casual conversations with friends, parents, and teachers or they may come up when you're giving a seminar, speech, or professional development series about kids and mindfulness. In any case, you'll be ready to debunk them and appropriately educate others. I hope you gain tons of value from the episode. If so, please share with your people. Let's learn, grow, and glow together

Making Mistakes - 5 Minute Meditation for Kids: This mindfulness and breathing exercise encourages listeners to embrace their mistakes and a growth mindset. Everyone makes mistakes in life. While it may not seem like it at the time, mistakes can actually be viewed as a gift since they often help place us on a path to greatness. Mistakes are also part and parcel of  growing up and the learning process associated with it. When children learn to see the value of mistakes and view them as opportunities to try again, they learn to trust themselves and gain self-confidence.Mindfulness is an important theme in 'The Paper Girls Show'.

Mindfulness is something that anyone of any age can benefit from. Being able to slow down, assess your situation, and control your reaction will help you to get the outcome you want out of most situations. As adults, this is often a skill we wish we had learned earlier.How awesome would it be if we had learned how to be mindful when we were young, and experiencing so many emotions for the first time?That's why I'm so intrigued by the work that this week's guest does. Ronnie Parker is a mindfulness teacher who helps teach social emotional learning and mindfulness to young kids, and today she's here to share how her Mindfully Me Camp can help preschoolers learn these important tools. Listen in to learn more about the positive impact that learning these tools and tactics at such a young age can have, and how programs like her are achieving such amazing things.About Ronnie Parker:Ronnie Parker is a wife, local Momma, educator, mindfulness teacher, a Breathe for Change trainee, and owner of Mindful Early Learning.

This episode is not a meditation, so feel free to listen in the car! In this one, I share the gratitude and mindfulness practice I recently created for myself and my children called HAPPY. Many of us have read the huge amounts of research citing service to others and gratitude as two main components of human happiness, but how do we learn to incorporate them into our busy daily lives? Sure, we can set the intention to be more grateful, but it's easy to forget about that when faced with a challenge or when our schedules become packed.I spent a lot of time thinking about this and developed a fun little acronym and journal prompt download to help us all build these habits into every single day, even the busy ones and even the ones that come with challenges.Download the PDF file for free here:https://www.purpledoorhealing.com/happyI would absolutely LOVE to hear how it works for you!

Життя може бути тяжким. Коли ми стикаємось з невідомим, нам дуже легко піддатися страху.

This is a quick podcast episode about moving through stress, fear, and anxiety. I use Insight Timer with my kids. We found one called, The Tale of the Mysterious by Reuben Lowe. It's a 10 day journey for kids (and kids at heart) to realize that they can control connect with their breath and body in order to calm down.This is a powerful practice of sitting with our emotions and moving them. The “mist” is scary thoughts that we all have. It was a powerful experience to go through with both of my children and we revisit it often because we all need reminders that the mist is not real and that we can create calm by connecting to our breath and bodies.Full Show Notes, Journal Prompts & Transcript:https://www.carlacontreras.com/podcast/moving-through-stress-anxiety-and-fear-with-marcella-leePlease tag me @itscarlacontreras on Instagram so I can continue the conversation with you.

Our students are under so many pressures, and taking a test can cause performance anxiety. Many students feel that they ARE their test scores when we know there are endless other factors that make up our child. Assessments can be used as a tool to determine growth in academia, but they are not the final deciding factor on a child's ability to learn. Regardless, giving a child the time to be mindful before focusing on a test can calm them so that they can answer questions thoughtfully. This mindfulness segment can also bring them confidence - something we want our children to carry daily. Mindfulness is an important theme in 'The Paper Girls Show'.

Welcome to this new feature of the podcast where I answer your mindfulness questions!  This week I answer a question from Elle, a mom trying to get her older kids interested in mindfulness.  Using simple analogies and sample conversations I guide you through a few scenarios for helping kids see how mindfulness can help them with things they already enjoy doing.  To send a question to me for a future Ask the Stress Nanny Podcast, follow me over on IG or send an email to lindsay@vibrantvillageyoga.com.

Welcome to Kids Mindfulness Meditations. A Podcast for Kids. My name is Maryanne Eve. I'm a Mental Health Social Worker and I have a special interest in Mindfulness. I run a multi award nominated Kids Mindfulness Group Program, where I teach children how to self soothe and self manage stress via Mindfulness education and meditation practice. This podcast is especially for kids, for kids who may be stressed, anxious, highly emotional or kids who are overthinkers or have trouble sleeping.  Each episode will be a single, recorded, downloadable meditation for children aged 5-13yrs. There will be meditations for sleep and meditations for relaxation. The aim of my podcast is to give children a free easy to use, therapeutic resource to assist them to relax and to find their calm.

In episode 39 of the Mindful Life Podcast I talk about my Kids Mindfulness Train the Trainer Course. I recently upskilled 6 lovely likeminded ladies, equipping them with the knowledge and the confidence to run my multi award nominated early intervention Kids Mindfulness Program. I’m so very excited to have them share my program within their own communities, joining me in raising the collective consciousness of future generations.

In Episode number 34 of the Mindful Life Podcast I share some more insights on my work with kids and a specific success story from my Kids Mindfulness Program. I introduce you to a case example, a child who has experienced much stigma and many difficulties in his short life, due to his diagnosis and his subsequent behaviours. My program has been a game changer for this child. An hour a week for him to just let go and just be, in a chaotic free, safe environment. My program is a space for kids to practice self care, to slow down and to find their calm. But most importantly, it is also a judgment free space and a space of acceptance. This is vital for these so called “difficult” kids who have experienced so much judgment through their lives, whose stories and diagnosis often label them as challenging and as hard to manage. This acceptance and putting judgments aside sends a message of respect and facilitates feelings of belonging, something many of these children unfortunately don’t often experience. What I am seeing in my work with these kids is unique and ground breaking. And I feel so privileged to be sharing the journey with these very special children as they allow the practice of Mindfulness to transform their lives If for any reason, you have found the content of todays podcast triggering or distressing in any way please consider accessing some professional support (Aust only); Telephone Counselling support *Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636 *Lifeline 131114 You can find The Mindful Life Podcast on Facebook and Instagram under the handle Mindful Life Podcast.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) encourages parents to share meditation with their children and teachers to incorporate mindfulness training into their lesson plans. The simple act of teaching children how to stop, focus, and just breathe could be one of the greatest gifts you give them. My guest, Jackie Stewart, is fascinated with the human mind and understanding how our perceptions impact our present experience.

Best practices for sharing the power of mindfulness with kids 2. It’s okay to say “I don’t know” to our children and can in fact be beneficial 3.

In episode #12 of the Mindful Life Podcast I talk about my Kids Mindfulness program. A relatively new program that I introduced to my suite of services in mid 2018. Kids Mindfulness is a mental health program that I designed and implemented within my local community for children aged 8-12yrs.

Kids Mindfulness is therapeutic in nature and it is designed to address difficulties, but the best bit is, the kids actually enjoy it. Its fun and its an opportunity to make new friends. It’s a time for kids to relax, be still, unwind. A time for kids to let go and just be…..
