Since lockdown, we have been teaching the Vivier Mindfulness Kids Classes online via Zoom. It has been a fairly natural transition. The kids actually responded really well to it, kids are so flexible! It gave them the opportunity to stay in contact with their friends, while being locked in the house. We practised check ins to see how they were doing during these stressful times. By practising mindfulness in a group the kids learned that others, a lot of the times, are just like them, with the same emotions and reactions and thoughts. Or if others experience situations differently they can learn to see their point of view, which increases empathy skills. The classes keep the same format. Although we miss the closeness we normally have in class, the online classes are a great way to keep connected mindfully!
