So What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is simply the process of paying attention to the present moment, with purpose and without judgment.
The Mind the Bump App contains activities that help to train the brain and strengthen one’s ability to be mindful, which further increases an individuals capacity to manage stress, change, and build connections.
A Child’s Brain Development
On the flip side, mindfulness is an incredibly useful tool for optimal child development as well.
It’s now clear from decades of research that as a young child’s brain develops over time, mindfully caring for them increases the chances they grow up to be mentally and emotionally well balanced and better able to handle life.
Here is a great video describing the importance of mindfulness on a child’s brain development.
