Mindfulness, what is it exactly and why is it great for kids?

Now that we have launched our NEW Mindfulness & Movement program here at Fit For Kids Co. we thought we would give you all some more details about what mindfulness is, why it is great for kids and how you can begin to practise it in your everyday lives.

Mindfulness is simply, being aware and focussed on the present moment. It has been proven in numerous studies that practising mindfulness reduces stress, anxiety and can help prevent a whole number of mental ilnesses. For children in the 'modern technological' days of increased technology use, smartphones, video games and incredible levels of stimulation, mindfulness can be an increadibly powerful tool to calm and relax.

We have found a number of great video's and resources which we have listed below to give you a better understanding of Mindfulness and how you can apply it to your life today.

We hope these videos have given you a better understanding of mindfulness & the powerful benifits it can have on adults and children.
