Mindfulness Training for Children

Mindfulness for Children...
Mindfulness is a useful skill for children and is a process of living in the moment and developing awareness. This practice teaches children to accept their feelings, thoughts and physical sensations as they are in the present moment. By teaching them to explore their mind and return to the present moment, it helps them to connect more deeply with their inner experiences and better cope with emotional challenges. Mindfulness teaches children important life skills such as managing stress, improving attention and concentration skills, increasing empathy and strengthening emotional intelligence. This is an important step for a healthy development process.

 

Mindfulness and Compassion Based Resilience Programme (CBCRP)
The main intention of the Mindfulness and Compassion Based Resilience Programme, designed with the clinical and mindfulness experience of Prof. Dr. Özlem Sürücü and Prof. Dr. Zümra Atalay, is to develop emotion regulation skills for children and adolescents, and to enable them to adopt the attitudes that bring mindfulness and compassion into their lives.

 

What are the Benefits of Mindfulness Programme for Children?
Development of Attention and Concentration: Mindfulness exercises for children teach them to focus their attention and stay for a long time without distraction. This helps them to concentrate better in school, homework and daily life.

Development of Emotion Regulation Skills: Mindfulness helps children to better recognise and manage their emotional reactions. In this way, children can manage challenging emotions such as anger, stress or sadness in a healthier way.

Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Mindfulness helps children learn to calm their minds and better manage stressful situations.

Development of Empathy and Relationship Skills: Mindfulness encourages understanding the feelings and needs of others, strengthens empathy and understanding skills, and helps children build healthier relationships.

Creativity and Problem Solving Skills: Mindfulness exercises put children in touch with their inner world, encouraging them to explore their own thoughts, feelings and creative potential. This helps children to use their imagination and solve problems by thinking from different perspectives.

Good Sleep and Relaxation: Mindfulness exercises improve children's sleep quality and help them learn how to relax through the body. Regular practice enables children to learn skills that facilitate relaxation and sleep.

Increased self-confidence and self-esteem: Mindfulness encourages children to trust and accept themselves. By discovering their inner values and developing a positive mental attitude, children develop better self-confidence and self-esteem.
