Improving Mental Fitness for Kids!
Hey friends!
This week on the Healthy is Hot Podcast, I chat with @natalievonteichman, founder of miindfully - an innovative and exciting way to teach children about mindfulness and meditation!
Mindfulness and meditation is something we often talk about amongst adults, but the conversation is shifting gears to the little ones! Mindfulness and meditation helps kids learn all about emotions, imagination, and their undiscovered superpower - breath! When kids learn things when they’re little, they’re creating new neural pathways early on. “With kids we can start them at a baseline where they’re learning this language where they can just grow into it.” -Natalie von Teichman
As parents, Natalie explains we have 3 pillars we think of as a whole:
Physical fitness
Education
Mental fitness
Typically, families spend a lot of money and time on physical fitness and education, and Natalie explains that parents would never give their children a test or put them into a game before letting them practice. However, with mental fitness we often wait until there’s a problem, to treat it. Natalie wanted to start thinking about how can we bring mental fitness up to the level of physical fitness and education and start practicing our mental fitness proactively to set our children up for success when they really need it!
Tune in to today’s episode with @natalievonteichman, for more on meditation for kids and the importance of teaching little ones what it means to be “whole body well”. Plus - she’s got some great advice for moms and moms-to-be, like me!
To learn more, LISTEN NOW and pass this on to someone that could benefit from this raw and real conversation.
You are on your way to living your best life, your Healthy Is Hot Life!
