Parent – Child Class: Exploring Mindfulness Together (Ages 8 -12)
First class is free!
What will I get in the first class?
- A Mind Jar!
- This is a tool you will make with your child that will help your child learn to calm down and focus.
- A chance to do a fun activity with your child: Mindful Eating!
- An opportunity to register for the remaining 7 sessions of the class
How will the class sessions help you and your child?
- Your child will learn how to focus and manage difficult emotions.
- You’ll know what to do during meltdowns.
- It will improve your relationship with your child.
In my 30+ years of teaching and researching mindfulness for children, I know that the kids who make the most progress are those whose parents practice with them.

This interactive eight-week program has been developed by Dr. Julia Keller, a psychologist with over 30 years of experience practicing and teaching mindfulness to children and teaching/researching interventions for children with learning disabilities. She is also the author of Mindful Interventions in Special Education.
This is an eight-week in-person class (the first class is free; you’ll need to pay for the remaining seven sessions). Each class session is one hour in duration.
Exploring Mindfulness Together Course Fee
$350 (tax-deductible donation to Mindful Youth Institute). After you pay for the class, you will be sent a tax-deductible receipt. Save $25 if you pay for the class before October 16! Also, because Poor Richard’s is allowing us to use their beautiful cafe for our class, you will need to order at least a drink during each meeting. They offer a $5 “meetup:” a slice of pizza and a soft drink for $5.
