Emotions and Feelings…
Why do we need mindfulness, mindful movement and yoga as a tool to support the development of our children? The next reason is obvious but often overlooked. I'm not certain how aware we are of the place that emotions and feelings take up inside us. So . . .
Children need to learn about feelings and emotions. They need to have safe spaces created for their exploration. The M.Y. Time Program offers lessons devoted to sharing, expressing, and processing feelings/emotions. Children have the chance to offer strategies for coping with them so they learn from each other. I've seen it time and time again where tension melts away when students feel a sense of camaraderie surrounding this topic. It's almost as if they are saying, "Whew! I thought I was the only one who had those feelings."
Join us for a one day training to experience firsthand how this can be offered to children.
