Beanie Breathing





      ▪ Young children (and even older children with attention


            difficulties),  can find meditation and mindful activities really

            hard.





      ▪ It can help to have specific props to help focus. For young

            children, ‘Beanie Breathing’ can really help.





      ▪ The child places the beanie on their stomach


            and holds the candle in one hand and the


            flower in the other.




      ▪ He or she smells the flower for 5 seconds

            then blows out the candle for 5 seconds.





      ▪ The child focuses on his Beanie friend going

            up and down on her / his stomach.
