Meditation is a powerful tool that can help reduce stress, reduce muscle tension, improve your ability to organise and process thoughts as well as bring an overall sense of peace to your life. Having a consistent practice can also help build increased levels of patience and tolerance, this is particularly useful for those navigating the demands of parenthood. It not only benefits adults but everyone, including children. Dr. Bryan Bruno, Founder and Medical Director at Mid City TMS, believes that “Meditation is one of the healthiest activities that a parent can do with their child”.
When you watch a child play you’ll notice them doing at least one of the following: problem solving, assessing, analysing and strategizing - play is serious business, it is enabling them to develop critical skills that will help them in the present and into the future.
The market is flooded with a multitude of gadgets and gizmos and it can certainly be overwhelming to decipher what, not only has the fun factor, so your child enjoys playing - but also helps them to learn key skills.
