Mindful Awareness happens when we give
our brains time to respond
(think) to
what we see and hear
–Think
about a time you’ve been angry and you’ve counted to 10……by the time we get to
10, we usually feel better ~ we just gave our brain some time to respond
–What
do you think is happening in your brain when we give it time to respond (think)?
Be sure to ask your child about the LISTENING AND FEELING activities we did together during our lesson this week.
Being
MINDFUL takes a lot of practice
–Let’s
start with THINKING before we SPEAK
–Take
a deep breath and count when you get upset
–Be
calm and LISTEN
–Pay
attention and focus on the TASTE of foods
–Pay
attention and focus on what you SEE and SMELL
–Think
about what you FEEL with your hands
