How Can Mindfulness Support Early Childhood Development?

Jun 7, 2018 - 2:00PM to 3:00PM

In this virtual event taught by Center for Healthy Minds professor Larissa Duncan and ZERO TO THREE Project Director Maria Gehl, you will learn about how mindfulness supports healthy adult-child relationships and what research has taught us about mindful parenting and teaching. We will share results of recent focus groups and a ZERO TO THREE member survey about ways mindfulness-based approaches are being used across early childhood disciplines. Join us to learn about mindfulness in early childhood and consider how you might integrate or enhance these practices in your own work.
