More and more children are diagnosed every year with a variety of disorders, from autism to ADHD, leaving us in unchartered waters. Mindful Child Aerial Yoga in Kansas City has an evidence-based mindful approach to teaching children a new way to relax. Our teachers help children to breathe, focus, and control their bodies.

Our play based therapy in Kansas City can also help children improve their focus. We can validate thoughts and feelings while giving young people the tools to get to somewhere better. Let’s look at some of the ways to acknowledge difficult feelings and thoughts, working through them in therapy.

Therapeutic Gratitude

Using a mindfulness approach with kids therapy in Kansas City, we practice gratitude. Gratitude practice can show us that even in the most difficult times, we can appreciate the present moment. By breathing in and out and feeling life in your body, we can appreciate life, our surroundings, and our environment. Here are some tips for fostering gratitude in young people:

  • Model it Play based therapy in Kansas City encourages kids to vocalize being grateful for food, nice experiences, and anything else they might be thankful for. Our kids watch us carefully, so be a role model.
  • Encourage it – Be mindful of others and encourage your child to say thank you when given things or when they are appreciative. This can help make gratitude a more natural response than anxiety.
  • Redirect it Play based therapy in Kansas City can help you with this because it requires true care. It is important not to invalidate your child. When a child is having a hard time with anxiety, you must validate their thoughts but show them they still have things to be grateful for—whether that be a favorite treat, activity, or even time with a good friend.Kids Therapy in Kansas City
