Mindfulness Activity for Kids | Breathing and Visualization Exercise for Kids

How would you like it if your child had the self-esteem of a lioness, self-awareness of Michelle Obama and empathy of the Dalai Lama?

That sounds like a pretty powerful combination.

But I’ll do you one even better. How would you like it if your child was able to develop their own self-esteem, self-awareness and empathy to the point that they, just like Michelle Obama, just like the Dalai Lama, and just like that royal lioness, were living their best life, using their divine gifts and skills, and impacting the world in just the way that they were meant to?

Guess what? Studies are showing that children who practice mindfulness are tending to develop the traits that would allow them to do exactly that.

Mindfulness interventions in schools have shown practicing mindfulness may improve sleep and self-­esteem, self-­awareness and empathy, and can even contribute directly to the development of cognitive and performance skills, and executive function.

Today, in this mindfulness exercise for kids, I’m practicing mindful awareness through mindful thought, breathing, and meditation, while listening to classical piano music. And the choice of classical music is a researched one. Learn more about that, and mindfulness for children, here:

I'll see you in the next video. Until then...

Happy Learning!
