Welcome to Mindful March!  We at Kids in Service believe that teaching children to be mindful is an important step in helping them to be kind and compassionate human beings.  There are many ways to teach our children (and ourselves) to be more mindful. Click on the images below to learn more about how you and your family can practice mindfulness.  Please also join us over on social media this month (Facebook and Instagram) for more tips and resources to help you explore the concept of mindfulness.
