Today's episode is all about mindfulness. The episode includes evidence-based information on what mindfulness is and the broader implications of practicing mindfulness regularly. I explain why I think it is important for kids and how it can help with impulse control, emotional regulation, and social skill development. I also explain why I think it is best used as a preventative strategy. I then go on to share my favourite Youtube videos and explain how I use them in therapy, and share my top three favourite mindfulness apps.
In the session transcript, I’ve included a huge range of free links to free mindfulness activity downloads so you can have a read through them as well and implement them however you please.
