spring is here...or is it summer?

It may be difficult to tell the difference between Spring and Summer in Texas because one is hot and the other is hotter, but according to the calendars Spring has arrived! For many, Spring is a time to do some cleaning - out with the old and in with the new. It is a great opportunity to apply this same line of thinking to our own brains! Get out the dust pan because it is time to sweep out those unhelpful thoughts!

Mindfulness exercises provide a variety of benefit to children and adolescents. Some of the potential benefits are enhanced attention and focus, improved self-regulation and self-management skills, and increased self-acceptance and relaxation.

This spring cleaning activity from KidsRelaxation.com incorporates creativity and mindfulness to help rid of those unhelpful thoughts that clutter our minds, leaving us ready to accept and take in thoughts that move us into a more positive direction. It's as simple as this!
