Mindful Kids – Teaching Kids To Be Present Episode 15 Being present for your kids and having mindful kids is the topic of today’s podcast. The last episode of One More Child Podcast we discussed mindfulness and being present. Thanks to our sponsor, Media Angels, Inc. check out the latest book One More Child on Amazon, to receive a free chapter check out MediaAngels.com for more information. *Please note: the education system has hijacked the term mindfulness to make it into an new age propaganda, filling kids heads with nonsense, asking kids to “empty their minds,” so the system can fill it with the negative (to a Christian, anyway.) This show focuses on the now – with God, as a Christian. It is in no way linked to anything not of God, as God created our minds and God is in this present moment. God made us different in the sense of likes and dislikes, personality and how we demonstrate our love for each other. So many things in our lives are distracting and our focus is on our phones, the things on our to-do list and what we need to do tomorrow. We miss the details of today. Look around when you go out to dinner. People are on their phones instead of talking to each other. No one is talking or laughing or discussing the events of the day. Mindful Kids Know: You are there for them now. We care (show it instead of just using words). To be present. Do not judge or criticize. Learn to appreciate the now. Our kids remember things differently than we do as adults. When my children get in trouble I often ask them if they know why they are in trouble. Many times they do not know or the reason they say the wrong reason. This is one of those areas you can work through and help them to understand the real reason. We should teach our kids to live each day as if it is our last. Do this exercise with your kids. What would you do if this was your last day? What would you do or say? Don’t worry about the future. Enjoy each thing – taste, drink and enjoy the sights around you. Appreciate your environment. Focus on each other. Appreciate the moment. Realize God is in this present moment.   The post Mindful Kids appeared first on Ultimate Christian Podcast Radio Network.
