While I practice mindfulness myself, I've wondered how to encourage it in the kids, while recognizing that they are more expert in it than I am. So maybe I'm wondering how to encourage them not to lose it. And Karen Maezen Miller, writing for the Huffington Post, gives some suggestions (check out her photo montage for her explanations):
1. Handwrite
2. Read picture books.
3. Listen.
4. Sing.
5. Smile.
6. Walk (to school).
7. Brush teeth.
8. Give one hour.
While she says that "mindful children grow up in mindful homes," I would almost add that "children growing up can make homes mindful." If you pay attention.
