Tweetable Quotes: “The number one cause of death for kids ages 9-19 is suicide, and that is a new statistic released from 2017.” –Cindy Robinson “Mindfulness for children means learning how to be in the moment, learning how to find contentment or get control over your emotions, whatever you are feeling too much of, too much anxiety, too much sadness, whatever it is.” –Cindy Robinson “Meditation is a form of mindfulness. But, they are not one in the same, and particularly children that have experienced trauma, meditation is dangerous for them. To sit quietly can really stir up and be really triggering for them.” –Cindy Robinson Resources Mentioned: I’d love to hear back from you. Text me at 470.242.6311.
