Mindfulness is a meditation practice that helps you calm down. It starts with focusing on your breathing. It helps you stay in the present instead of worrying about the past or future. There are many benefits of mindfulness for teenagers, and even young kids. It can be especially helpful for those who are easily upset or impulsive, including kids with ADHD, depression, anxiety or autism. Scientific studies have proven that mindfulness works. 

Mindfulness is a great skill for kids to learn. It helps them face daily challenges. The idea is that when they pay attention to breathing out and breathing in, they start to feel calm inside. Then they can learn to notice their feelings, even upsetting ones. This gives them time to decide what they want to do about the upsetting feeling, rather than reacting immediately.
