Mental Health in Children

The emotional wellbeing of students is just as important as their physical health; in fact wellbeing and learning must exist together. 

Mindfulness builds the foundations for optimal student focus and concentration. It is a skill for life.

Research has shown that one in seven primary aged children and one in four secondary aged children are experiencing mental health problems. Good mental health also allows children to develop resilience to cope with stress, such as testing and the pressure to perform. It allows children to grow into well-rounded, healthy adults.

Mindfulness meditation is about mental health and looking after the mind. It takes just 10 minutes a day and there are many free apps such as ‘Smiling Mind’ that parents can download and use at home. https://app.smilingmind.com.au/
