The ABCs of Mindfulness for Kids, with Susan Kaiser Greenland

What would the world look like if all children everywhere were introduced to mindfulness? Kids as young as three years old can understand mindfulness concepts. But teaching mindfulness to kids is quite different from teaching to adults. It takes a special skill set and understanding.

Susan talks about the ABCs of mindfulness for kids - attention, balance and compassion. She offers actionable insight regarding how to teach mindfulness to children in a fun and accessible manner.
