In honor of National Family Month, join Deer Oaks EAP & Human Resources for the Helping Children Learn Mindfulness Webinar.
Tuesday, June 20th, 2023, 12pm - 1:00pm
A child’s brain is still developing, like a house under construction. Sometimes they are able to calm themselves, stay still, control their impulses, concentrate or wait. But the parts of the brain that are in charge of these functions are still maturing. They need their families, teachers, or other adults to guide them during their development. A tool that can help them during their development is mindfulness.
Join this session to learn about the benefits of practicing mindfulness with your children. Learn how to focus attention on the breathing, how to help children train their attention and recognize their feelings. Learn an emotion regulation technique as well.
