Did you know that there are many tools that assist caregivers to prevent Child Abuse?
Prevention IS... MINDFULNESS
Teaching children about emotions, empathy, and social interaction helps them build self-confidence, self-control, and social skills that will benefit them throughout life.
A child’s ability to interact positively with others and effectively communicate feelings will benefit relationships throughout life.
When we foster and encourage MINDFULNESS in children, they are better able to understand and interact with the world around them.
Children who are MINDFUL not only succeed in classrooms but also in life. Since relationships are the foundation of all learning, it makes sense that having strong relationships helps children learn more deeply.
