How to raise 'Kindful" Human Beings

Raising the Next Generation of ‘Kindful’ Human Beings with Kaajal Agnani

Episode S4E2: Show Notes.

 Studies suggest that mindfulness affects many aspects of our psychological well being; improving our mood, increasing positive emotions, and decreasing our anxiety, emotional reactivity, and job burnout. From their earliest moments, mindfulness can help kids to experience less anxiety, and feel happier. Today’s guest, Kaajal Agnani, is all about equipping parents to teach and model mindfulness behavior with their kids. She uses the term ‘kindful’ to encompass the emotional intelligence and thoughtful behavior that mindfulness cultivates in kids. Her thoughts on mindfulness changed once she had become a parent and noticed her child’s natural inclination towards presence and curiosity. During our conversation, she shares how she empowers parents to nurture this in their children while unlearning the patterns which prevent them from staying mindful as adults. Learn how Kaajal prioritizes mindfulness with her own family, and find out what’s next for her business, with the goal to create, inspire and uplift others at its heart. Kaajal also walks us through two mindfulness practices to give us a taste of what she teaches. Stay tuned all the way to the end to receive a special gift from Kaajal today!
