Editor’s Note:  It’s Stress Awareness Month.  Here is a great post we found from Positively Psychology

Mindfulness can add to the quality of our lives in numerous ways, from nurturing a sense of inner peace to improving the quality of a workout, from enhancing self-confidence to facilitating deeper and more meaningful relationships with others.

In children specifically, mindfulness has been found to:

  • mitigate the effects of bullying (Zhou, Liu, Niu, Sun, & Fan, 2016)
  • enhance focus in children with ADHD (Zhang et al., 2016)
  • reduce attention problems (Crescentini, Capurso, Furlan, & Fabbro, 2016).
  • improving mental health and wellbeing
  • improve social skills when well taught and practiced in children and adolescents.
