Day 4 of the #MindfulKidsPeaceSummit is here! The theme today is Doing Good: Things We Can Do Together to Make the World a Better Place and Collaboration.
The online international Mindful Kids Peace Summit was created by teen Adam Avin for other teens, to be shown in schools across the world as part of the annual curriculum. It focuses on mental health & stopping violence. 50+ experts speak about diversity, inclusion, communication, kindness, anti bullying, peace, mindfulness, positivity, social emotional learning, emotional intelligence, coping with stress, coping with emotions, coping with trauma, self-awareness, self-regulation, self-compassion, positive psychology, interaction with others, & so much more.

Today I got to speak with Amy Eva, from Greater Good Science Center, about self-compassion. Greater Good is a really neat organization because they actually do research on things like happiness and positivity.
“What we’re dealing with in our country now is an increase in #anxiety, #depression & #stress among young people…think how are we talking to ourselves & what we’re saying to ourselves. 80% of us treat others better than we treat ourselves.”
“Because we become more self-conscious as #teens, we also become more self critical and judgmental, so it’s really important to have skills that will help you to be kinder to yourself.”
