How Does Hannah Knapp Use Meditation With Her Four-year-old?

at 33:44

From the episode: Hannah Knapp of Within Meditation - How does Meditation help us to evolve as an individual and as a species?

Answer

On Crazy Wisdom, Hannah Knapp of Within says her first move with her four-year-old, when he is upset, is to have him stop and breathe. They are regulating together. She is not asking a panicking child to notice his thoughts. He is not resistant, but he does not yet see the breath as a tool he can pick up on his own.

The conversation also cites Jon Kabat-Zinn on sharing mindfulness with people you love. Do not push the practice on them. Let them see you do it, and let them learn it from someone else.
