How meditation can help children
For some time, I had been noticing that it was becoming harder to connect with more and more children. Whether it's down to diet, lifestyle, lack of parental attention or too much TV and computer games, I became increasingly aware of children in need of specific help, and it wasn't entertainment. The main signs of a child not maturing as they should include not being able to concentrate at all, unable to sit still for a moment, nervousness disguised as hyperactivity, extreme insecurity, unable to be alone and constantly seeking some form of attention. But by far the most concerning behaviour is the almost constant reactivity. Increasingly rare is the child who acts after consciously thinking and deciding what they are going to do.
