We want to encourage people to tell other people cheerleading statements and to build people up instead of bringing people down.
Imagine equipping children and teens with tools to manage their emotions and mental health. In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes offers a treasure trove of mindfulness exercises designed specifically for young people. Dr. Snipes, the Executive Director of AllCEUs Continuing Education, delves into practical techniques that counselors, coaches, and even parents can use to help kids navigate the choppy waters of addiction and mental health challenges.
The episode covers core mindfulness concepts, like understanding different states of mind, and highlights the importance of 'walking the middle path'—a balanced approach to life’s ups and downs. Through creative activities like using flip chart papers and decisional balance exercises, Dr. Snipes shows how kids can learn to observe, describe, and name their experiences. This episode is packed with strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and transitioning from childhood to adulthood.
What makes this episode stand out is its focus on kindness—encouraging young people to build each other up rather than tear each other down. By integrating these mindfulness exercises into daily routines, children and adolescents can gain a better sense of control over their lives and emotions. Whether you're a professional in the field or a parent looking for ways to support your child, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tools to make a real difference.
