Mindful Kids. Calm Minds. Brighter Futures
Helping Young Minds Breathe, Focus, and Heal With Presence and Calm
In today’s fast-paced, overstimulating world, many children struggle with anxiety, inattention, and emotional overwhelm. They may feel scattered, restless, or disconnected, not knowing how to slow down, reflect, or self-soothe.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy is a gentle, evidence-backed approach that teaches children to focus on the present moment, notice their thoughts and feelings, and respond with calm awareness instead of impulsive reaction.
Dr. Sathiya Ganesan, Consultant in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, integrates mindfulness techniques into therapy sessions to help young people develop emotional resilience, focus, and inner peace.
Understanding Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Training the Mind to Pause, Reflect, and Respond With Balance
Mindfulness involves purposefully paying attention to the present moment — without judgment. When integrated into therapy, mindfulness teaches children how to notice their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations with kindness and curiosity.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy is especially helpful for children with:
- Anxiety and excessive worry
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Emotional regulation difficulties
- Anger, impulsivity, or restlessness
- Sleep disturbances or stress-related complaints
- Depression or self-critical thinking
- Autism Spectrum Disorder and sensory sensitivity
Mindfulness helps children become more aware, focused, and emotionally grounded — tools they can use for a lifetime.
Signs a Child May Benefit From Mindfulness-Based Therapy
- Frequent worry or inability to calm down
- Trouble staying focused or sitting still
- Intense reactions to minor stressors
- Difficulty sleeping due to racing thoughts
- Irritability, emotional outbursts, or low frustration tolerance
- Negative self-talk or perfectionism
- Avoidance of challenging situations
Mindfulness-based practices allow children to observe rather than react, building awareness and control.
What Happens in Mindfulness-Based Therapy?
Mindfulness is taught through engaging, age-appropriate activities, such as:
- Breathing exercises and body scans
- Guided imagery and grounding techniques
- Nature-based observation and “noticing” games
- Mindful movement (walking, yoga, stretching)
- Emotion tracking through journaling or drawing
- Sensory awareness (taste, sound, texture focus)
- Using mindfulness bells or calming visual tools
Sessions are gentle, exploratory, and adapted to each child’s temperament and developmental stage.
Benefits of Mindfulness for Children
- Improves attention span and cognitive flexibility
- Reduces anxiety and emotional reactivity
- Encourages self-compassion and inner calm
- Enhances problem-solving and reflective thinking
- Helps manage impulsivity and behavior
- Strengthens emotional regulation and stress recovery
With regular practice, mindfulness gives children a powerful skill: the ability to pause before reacting.

Dr. Ganesan uses Mindfulness-Based Therapy in combination with:
- CBT or DBT (for emotional processing)
