How To Teach Your Child Mindfulness

By: Chloe Harper

Mindfulness is something that everyone should learn how to do, no matter the age. Mindfulness is a tool that can allow any individual to regulate their own internal functioning and emotions. That sounds practical for an adult to learn, but what about a child? A lot of parents ask what can mindfulness do for their child. David Gelles writes in the New York times about the benefits of mindfulness for children; the simplest practices help a child to learn how to be gentle, accepting, reducing anxiety, increasing happiness, and creating early habits.

When to begin?

Parents can begin as early as infancy when teaching mindfulness to their bab...

18 Is Virtual Learning Causing Strain In Your Parent/Child Relationship?

Virtual learning causing strain in your parent/child relationship?

By Brooke Sanders, Clinical Intern with JCAC

Here’s a fun activity for connection and gaining a different perspective.

Virtual learning has the potential to create new roles for parents to play in their children’s education. For many, this new dynamic within the home can make it seem like parents and children are speaking different languages. If you’ve ever given directions to your child, which were completely misunderstood, you know what I mean. As parents, we feel that our directions are crystal clear. However, I encourage you to take a step back and experiment with a new perspective.
