Meditation For 8 Year Olds
In the UK, schools will be teaching mindfulness to 8 year olds to combat an increase in mental health issues.
Preventative programs will be rolled out at 100 primary schools and 50 secondary schools this summer, teaching mindfulness, protective behaviors—i.e. teaching kids how to recognize signs of not feeling safe and what to do about it—and relaxation and breathing-based techniques.
