Don't React, Respond! Apr 03, 2017

Show notes

Everyone gets angry and feels upset sometimes, but when you do, do you react or respond? There's a big difference between reacting and responding, and in today's episode, we talk about how to be more mindful of our emotions and actions by pausing before responding. The focus will be on listening and breathing, with very little movement, so this would be a great episode to play in the car!

A mindfulness story suitable for children aged 5–10 years old.
