Mindfulness for children doesn’t have to be complicated. These simple, everyday practices help children manage big feelings, build confidence and find calm - while supporting parents too.

Supporting your child’s mental health is just as important as caring for their physical wellbeing. Learn how to recognise the early signs of stress and anxiety in children and discover simple, evidence-based ways to help them build resilience. From family time and play to mindfulness and rest, these practical tips will strengthen your child’s emotional wellbeing and support lifelong mental health.

For most of our children, they’ll have spent most of the last 7 weeks keeping in all of their typical childlike behaviour and now suddenly, they’ve got a bit of freedom. Meaning those behaviours I’ve mentioned above…suddenly make more sense.

If your child always answers “nothing” when you ask about their day, you’re not alone. After a long, busy day at school or nursery, children often need time, connection and calm before they’re ready to talk. Discover simple, gentle strategies for how to get your child to talk about their day, including open-ended questions, modelling conversations and after-school routines that help them open up naturally.
