Description
Many caregivers wonder how to help young children deal skillfully with their difficult feelings and treat themselves with kindness. Each child is unique, and there’s not a one-size-fits-all approach for helping kids grow self-compassion. In this workshop, we will explore how you can customize self-compassion for particular children, including modeling, conversation, and play. You will experience many of the playful activities and metaphors that Jamie Lynn developed for her Mindfulness and Self-Compassion for Children and Caregivers (MSC-CC) program. For instance, you’ll learn how animals can be a gateway for conversations about feelings with kids, and how you can make the components of self-compassion accessible for children. You will leave equipped with effective ideas and creative exercises that will help you support yourself and the young children in your life.
