Addressing Anxiety - 5 Minute Meditation for Kids

Addressing Anxiety - 5 Minute Meditation for Kids: This mindfulness and breathing exercise helps children calm down when they experience anxiety.

Anxiety is very real and can be overwhelming for all of us, especially children. Breathing and positive affirmations can have a calming effect that helps ease fears. Once children know these tools, they can tap into them at any time of the day.

Mindfulness is an important theme in 'The Paper Girls Show'. Together with "Making" and "Mistakes", they create the "3 M's of The Paper Girls Show", which serve as the series' pillars.
 "Make things Mindfully – don't sweat your Mistakes", as our mantra goes!
 
The goal of this series is to help guide children through mindful breathing techniques, visualizations, and positive affirmations to self-soothe and use throughout the day when needed.
