Mindful Monsters: Body Scan with Big Bird
In this podcast, Big Bird guides children through a mindful body scan.
Emotions can live in many places inside the body. When we tune into the feelings throughout our bodies, it can help create a sense of calm and grounding and help us learn more about ourselves and others.
Together with children, use this podcast to practice a mindful body scan. Big Bird guides children to pay close attention to different parts of their bodies, from their heads to their toes. Mindfulness helps grown-ups feel good too, so feel free to join in!
