About this listen
In the podcast episode, 'Test Anxiety Busters: Mindfulness Tips for Kids,' host Linda Ryden discusses how mindfulness techniques can help children manage test anxiety. By focusing on the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, she explains the science behind test nerves and offers practical tips like four square breathing to calm the mind. The episode features real-life experiences from kids and fifth graders who share their strategies for staying grounded during tests, such as gravity hands and visualization exercises. This insightful discussion emphasizes the importance of self-care and understanding that test scores do not define a person's worth. By promoting mindfulness practices, the podcast aims to empower children to approach tests with a sense of calm and confidence.
