The Most Important Skill to Teach Children | A Monk's Perspective
When it comes to raising children, what is the most important skill that we can teach them? The answer is meditation. With the current condition of the world and the challenges our children face with mental health issues, meditation is the skill that will serve as a preventative measure for obstacles that they will encounter. In this video, I outline why meditation is crucial for our children. For any parent watching, I hope this video is helpful. Enjoy! #monks #mentalhealth #buddhism #meditation
