I think all children should be shown how to use relaxation techniques of various types when they're very young. Then it could perhaps become a part of their daily lives forever.

Lara, I completely agree.

I would also add the ideas of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to your suggestion - not in a clinical sense but helping children to learn to notice when their thoughts may not be helpful and how to deal with those thoughts.

I agree totally, meditation SHOULD be cirrculum and I was happy to hear my grandgirl has a meditation class at UCLA. And Yes, it needs to start way earlier...almost like religion is pushed on us when we are so young. Many years ago when I was still doing childcare, I would "try" to get 2 little boys into meditation to calm them down and they loved going along with me and getting into their meditation. Such that it was.

A recent article shows that meditation leads to measurable changes in the brain which seem to be associated with reduced experience of stress.
