I agree, knitting or art can be quite meditative since they require focused concentration. I love that you’re finding a way to help your kids benefit from meditation too. What a great idea!

Just me, silence, and a repetitive project can yield a surprising difference in my day. I’m trying sneaky ways to teach my kids meditation by having mandalas out to color. It always seems to calm them down.
