Fun, whimsy + deep trust are the key ingredients in playful mothering. They create a sense of safety for people that allows them to let their guard down and immerse themselves in moments of carefree wonder and joy.

They are great at helping kids of all ages reconnect with what is elemental and real in life: our senses, our amazing bodies, and our beautiful imaginations.

With all that running around, be sure to give them time for real rest to stay connected to their own inner child’s sense of wonder and openness.

Here are simple mindful practices that they can incorporate into daily life that can keep their inner child giggling with silly delight:

• Colouring is a fun and relaxing activity that can help quiet their mind and focus on the present moment.
• Self-care practices such as taking a relaxing bath, getting a massage, or indulging in their favourite hobby are perfect for them. (Let them try this short practice, 3-Point Check-In, as a way to get an internal weather report, to notice what is happening in the body, heart, and mind in any moment.)
• Mindful movement practices such as yoga, tai chi, or dance can cultivate a sense of playfulness and joy in their bodies. These practices can help release tension and stress while also having fun.
• Give them permission to be themselves. Playfulness arises naturally when we feel safe, free, and authentically ourselves. (Need to give them a little reminder? Let them listen to this talk, Loving Ourselves Into Freedom, inside the app.)
