Maya Sloan

In this caregiver presentation, Maya will share how the  teachings of Buddhism can help us and our children in this time of isolation. Maya will discuss how the wisdom from Buddhism can help us understand who we are. She will share  stories that caregivers can use to  teach children about their fundamental goodness as well as the concepts of impermanence and uncertainty. These will replace popular words and concepts such as emotion regulation and calming the nervous system.
