There's a feeling of pure joy and satisfaction that arises when one creates something with their own hands. Even if the final product doesn't turn out exactly as your child intended, there is still a sense of enjoyment in the process.
Creating something allows your child to step back from the constant movement of the world and rest their mind while their hands stay busy. They can live fully in the present moment, or lose themselves in a timeless state while they create and unwind.

Regular mindfulness practice can greatly benefit children in all areas of life, helping them recognize, understand, and regulate their thoughts, emotions and actions. By practicing mindfulness for even just a few minutes each day, children can develop this invaluable skill.
Research has shown that mindfulness can bring about structural and functional changes in key areas of the brain, including the amygdala (which governs emotions), the hippocampus (which supports learning and memory), and the prefrontal cortex (which regulate behavior and decision-making). These changes can have a profound impact on a child's cognitive, social and emotional development, promoting their overall growth and well-being.
