For children who struggle with food, she suggests practicing a gratitude meditation before eating where the caregiver and child explore the journey of the food to the plate (imagine the food growing as a plant and thanking sun, soil, and water, as well as the farmer who cared for it, etc.) Kids become less afraid of unfamiliar foods and textures as they think about the effort involved for the food from a seed in the ground to their plates - I've seen this work in my own home!\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"We have found the skills our pupils have learned through the Connected Kids approach to be a useful, possibly vital, life tool for now and in the future. In an increasingly complex and stressful world. We have made them an essential part of our curriculum by integrating short mindfulness sessions throughout the day and whenever pupils need to use them. Our pupils have severe learning difficulties, many also with autism, and yet the ideas can be adapted quite easily to each individual's needs.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lorraine E.
