When kids hear about scary things in the world—hurricanes, floods, other disasters and tragedies—it can be really unsettling for them. Here’s a simple way for them (and you) to send positivity to others, and to help them practice compassion.
SEND GOOD THOUGHTS
Sit up tall, and hold your body still. Take a long breath in, and let it all the way out.
Think of someone you love, and imagine that person is standing in front of you.
Think of something really nice you could say to that person.
Say it quietly, in your mind.
Now think of a different person. Someone you don’t know as well. Or maybe someone who’s having a hard time right now.
Imagine that person is standing in front of you.
Think of something really nice you could say to that person.
Say it quietly, in your mind.
Take a long breath in, and let it all the way out.
