Such a wonderful project. Please have a look #children #mindfulness
Good morning! I’ve been building a place where mindfulness and emotional skills for children (and their supportive adults) come to life through stories, exercises, and creative tools. It’s almost ready. And if you’re here, you’ll be among the first to see it. 🌿
