Wellbeing 

Kate Bonazza - Primary Wellbeing officer

 

Today’s newsletter presentation from The Resilience Project is all about Mindfulness. 

 

 Mindfulness is our ability to be present at any given moment. We practise this by using intentional awareness and concentrating on what you are doing when you are doing it.

 

Thousands of studies into Mindfulness indicate that with regular practise, Mindfulness can lead to benefits such as; reduced stress, reduced rumination, increased memory, increased cognitive function and physical health benefits through improved immunity.

In the final part of The Resilience Project's parent series, Hugh shares an important message about allowing our children to experience adversity.The key to building resilience in our children is allowing them to experience failure, hardship, disappointment etc. As parents, we can be too quick to resolve our children's challenges which can deprive our children of enormous growth opportunities. These typically happen when we experience failure and uncertainty. As parents we should be there for our children when they fail, but not fight their battles for them.
