Benefits of Mindfulness for Children

Increased focus and attention : Singaporean parents notice that their children often crave for external stimulation and instant gratification, leading to restlessness and inability to focus. Mindfulness practice will help to increase focus and attention.

Better emotional regulation : Mindfulness will teach children how to calm down and manage negative emotions like stress, anger and self-blame which are increasingly prevalent in our society
-
Improved relationship with others : Cultivating intentional wholesome thoughts, speech and actions will promote better communication and empathy that improves relationships.
