Meditation in Schools Flashcards

Q
What are some of the benefits of teaching meditation to children?
A
It is a great way to prevent some of the problems that develop in adult life due to a lack of mindfulness, such as preventing limiting beliefs from developing.
Children can also suffer under negative social or peer pressure, and with many children being too busy to have time to play creatively or relax after school, few have learnt how to unwind and rejuvenate.
Some statistics suggest that 25 per cent of 13 to 18-year-olds in the US will develop some form of anxiety disorder. Things are out of balance, and mindfulness is one way to help.
