What role does mindfulness play in raising children? There is a growing body of research suggesting that family members and caregivers who engage in mindful practices feel more satisfaction and less stress. The speakers gave examples of mindfulness in practice and encouragement to parents and educators to explore this area of self-awareness.<\/p>\n

Many educators and parents are beginning to teach the skills of mindfulness to the next generation. Susan Kaiser Greenland is one such educator. She is the founder of the Inner Kids Foundation<\/a> and author of The Mindful Child<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Here is a link to a TED talk by Susan Kaiser Greenland entitled ‘Teaching the ABCs of Attention, Balance and Compassion.”\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
