How to Start Your Mindfulness Practice: Easy Tips for Teachers, Parents, and Kids

In today’s episode of The Balanced Educator Podcast, we define mindfulness and explore how to start your own practice, whether you're a teacher, parent, or student.

We discuss the two sides of mindfulness: the formal practice with specific exercises and the informal practice, where mindfulness is woven into everyday activities.

We share our own challenges in getting started with mindfulness, and how with time, we’ve noticed positive changes in our self-awareness, compassion, and emotional responses. Mindfulness has helped us respond, not react, to difficult situations.

If you’re ready to explore mindfulness for self-regulation and emotional well-being, this episode is for you.
