Dr. Kimberly Applewhite encourages parents to build stronger connections with their children by practicing mindfulness together. She explains that mindfulness doesn’t have to be limited to traditional techniques like deep breathing—it can include everyday activities such as walking, playing games, listening to music, or even doing chores with intention.
Her message emphasizes that the goal is to help children regulate emotions while strengthening the parent-child relationship. By engaging in simple, intentional moments together, families can create meaningful opportunities for connection and emotional awareness.
