The Mindful Garden

Mindfulness offers children the invaluable skill of being fully present in the moment, fostering a heightened awareness of their thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and immediate surroundings. While this state of mindful presence comes naturally to them at a young age, it's a capacity that often diminishes as they mature. However, cultivating mindfulness has demonstrated numerous benefits, particularly in enhancing concentration and self-awareness. By nurturing a child's ability to stay grounded in the present, mindfulness can significantly improve their attention span and social-emotional awareness. Moreover, it serves as a powerful tool for managing anxiety and promoting overall emotional well-being, leaving children with a profound sense of calm and centeredness.“The Mindful Garden” consists of 9 beautifully illustrated pages and on each page there are a selection of choices. The children choose one thing from the illustrated page and their selected choice becomes the focus of their attention during the mindfulness session.

Included with the program is a carefully crafted script for each illustrated page, empowering teachers to seamlessly guide children through the mindfulness session. Additionally, it provides thought-provoking questions to facilitate discussion and gather valuable feedback from the children about their experience at the conclusion of the session.Guided Visualisations
