This self compassion and kindness meditation is a variation of the metta prayer meditation also known as the loving kindness prayer. Metta means “lovingkindness” in Pali (a language closely related to Sanskrit). It is so important to teach our young children about self-love, kindness, and compassion. If our children are capable of loving themselves, then they are capable of loving others. They will be much more helpful to those they meet in life and be able to extend them kindness and compassion.
This metta prayer meditation will help support your child in becoming mindful of their feelings and being kind and compassionate to self and others. It is suitable for children 5 years+.
