This article from the New York Times explains the benefits of mindfulness and how beneficial it is for children to start practicing this technique at an early age. Mindfulness can promote happiness and relieves stress. Children that learn simple mindfulness techniques develop compassion, focus, curiosity, and empathy towards the world around them.
As children develop into different stages of life it can be difficult to learn how to manage all those changes. This is why mindfulness is one of the most beneficial techniques that a child can use at all times of life.
A child can learn so much from learning how to be mindful of their surroundings because it will make them conscious and consider themselves and others.
