How to Teach Children Meditation — Francesca Hampton #122

Francesca Hampton is a writer and lifelong Tibetan Buddhist practitioner who's written a wonderful new children's book on meditation for kids called Leo Learns to Meditate. As a parent myself, I've found it hard to find resources like these, so if you are a parent, I think you'll get a lot out of this episode. Even if you're not, I think you'll find Francesca's advice on meditation—that comes from a lifetime of experience—useful in your own practice, as she talks about how to cultivate concentration and loving-kindness, why meditation can sometimes feel boring, and how to keep our meditation light, joyful, and fun.Episode 122: How to Teach Children Meditation — Francesca HamptonWe’ve just launched a new online community where Scott Snibbe leads weekly live meditations for the topics  shared in our podcast and How to Train a Happy Mind  book.
