There are many different techniques for kids to use when meditating. The simplest technique for young children is to imagine a special friend or sibling. Ask the child to imagine that person leading or following the group and who they look up to. These simple exercises can help your child understand the value of observing and being mindful.

Meditation helps people develop an awareness of their feelings and emotions. It is important for kids to learn to recognize and name their feelings in the present moment. Many types of meditation involve physical relaxation. Progressive muscle relaxation is a good way to achieve this. Make sure your child has a quiet place to meditate. Then, help them choose a spot that is comfortable for them to sit.
