This class is designed to practice mindfulness with young children by modeling for the adults how to help the children be more aware and in the present moment. Mindfulness can help children increase their attention span, focus and concentration, improve memory, better social functioning, self-esteem, reduces stress, and can improve relationships with parents. The class is designed to experience what mindfulness is and to show caregivers how to use it in their lives in a practical way. In the class there are simple and fun activities to encourage mindfulness and relaxation so that everyone can see it in action. The instructor uses a bag of props to engage in sensory activities to help practice being more present. 

The program is intended for preschoolers with a caregiver. Registration required. 

Thank you to the Friends of the Lincoln Library for their generous programming support.
