| Article Title :: Playing With Food Words: Teaching Mindfulness to Preschoolers |
| |
| The most powerful way to instill a love for language and an awareness of health in young children is to help them use specific words as cues for mindfulness.

| |

| It might appear to be sufficient to apply some high factor suncream on your little ones and then head off into the sunshine, but do you give much thought for your baby’s eyes?I know from experience with our 10 months old boy that he hates the sun shining in his eyes.
