SSW108: Mental Health - Stress and Trauma

Stress, Portrait of a Killer - Full Documentary (2008) (56:04)







For a lot of us, success in life starts with learning the right habits. And for parents, it’s essential to start children off on the right foot by teaching them good habits from an early age.
In fact, there’s one “habit” in particular that parents can pass on to their children – one that can help kids in many different ways, and that’s mindfulness.
Parents who introduce mindfulness to their kids can help them experience emotions, rather than react to them, and give them a way to identify their mental states before they become overwhelmed by them.
