What if your child started learning tools to help them regulate emotions and be confident themselves? If you’re like most Empowering Parents, you’ve discovered tools that help with your own mental and emotional health. Chances are you wish you’d found them sooner in life right? You have the chance to do this for your kids. 

As you know, the world collectively has been dealing with so much anxiety, fear, and emotional stress over the past year due to the pandemic. We’ve all felt this even as adults. You feel it. We all feel it. But kids especially are having trouble connecting to each other and themselves. Emotions are running high. Stress levels are high. They need mindfulness tools to help with mental health and emotional fluency just like adults do.

In fact, Neuroscience has shown us that so much of our emotional development occurs at a young age. According to the US National Library of Medicine, mental health struggles are becoming more prevalent in the younger generation. The CDC says rates of depression and anxiety in children as young as six years old are increasing over time.

However, together we can change that. We can equip your child with easy and holistic mindfulness tools to help them be braver, connect with their deeper sense, and teach them to write their own stories to serve them now and through the rest of their life. Full disclosure: I’m not a mental health professional. I’m a writer and mental health advocate, passionate about bringing the mindfulness tools written into my children’s stories to families so kids can start learning tools to build confidence from the inside out.

With stories bringing the importance of topics like healthy self-talk, diversity, kindness, and more to light, parents can have meaningful conversations with their kids about these important, abstract themes.By bringing guest experts into a safe space, kids are introduced to mindfulness tools from mental health professionals so they can develop their own practices and habits that work best for them.
