[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I practice mindfulness and I believe it is helpful but it is also the flavor of the month and I believe its being oversold.  Its really difficult to teach to kids. I keep reading about all the things mindfulness is supposed to treat and it just soundsl ike yet another intervention thats being oversold.  As I said, I practice mindfulness, but lets be realistic about it.[/quote]

Mindfulness is hardly the "flavor of the month," PP. There are decades of studies on the very real mental and physical health benefits of meditation and mindfulness, and the practices and concepts are very longstanding. Besides, it's not an actual intervention and there are no side effects, so what's the downside of teaching it? [/quote]

There's no real downside except that if kids aren't receptive, it will poison them toward it.

I realize there are benefits, as I said I practice it, but lately I've been reading about how it can fix EVERYTHING and I just don;t buy it.[/quote]
