Self-Compassion:
For Children, Teens, & Caregivers
Comprehensive resources to instill compassionate practices for
your child and yourself.
Meeting Self with Compassion
Fostering a self-compassion practice for your child and for yourself can be important for psychological wellbeing and overall functioning.
Learning how to hold a stance of openness, nonjudgment, and understanding can support you and your child with the challenges that life brings.
Please note: this resource contains research-based and general information for families; we are not able to provide information tailored to you or your specific situation. For individualized support, we recommend reaching out to a local mental health professional.
Practice Makes Progress
Taking a stance of warmth and care with oneself can be easier said than done.
Because of this, we've created comprehensive guides for children, adolescents, and adult caregivers.
We offer research-informed information and activities to build up a new skill or meet you and your child's current needs with this work.
Adults
Access psychoeducation on what self-compassion is, why it matters, and various ways of implementing for yourself and with your family.
Children
Young kids can learn what it means to be a friend to self, respond to hurt, and practice openness with all of their experiences through activities and coloring sheets.
Teens
Adolescents can access developmentally-appropriate resources for how to redefine what brings them comfort, identify needs, and respond to self in respectful and compassionate ways.
