When we teach our young children to slow down, to notice their emotions, then equip them with tools for navigating their tricky feelings like disappointment, impatience, boredom, sadness, or anger, we lay the foundation for a kinder and more empathetic society.
It was an honor to speak to Dr. Dan Siegel, a pioneer in the field of psychology and the study of mindfulness.
It all starts with us! We'll talk about mindset shifts parents can make to foster self-compassion and ways we can aid in developing our children's social and emotional learning.
We'll also talk about Dr. Siegel's new books, how we can reshape our brain through mindfulness, and the role this plays in helping us develop a connection to ourselves, our peers and the entire interconnected world we're all a part of.
I walked away from our conversation feeling optimistic, empowered and ready to take on the challenges that await us all in life, and I think you will too!
