MINDFULNESS AND COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOURAL PSYCHOTHERAPY AS INTERVENTION ON ANXIETY IN CHILDREN (“MINDFUL TIME FOR KIDS” PROGRAMME) Anxiety is an emotional state of mind, often found in both children and adults. In children, the anxiety is based on their exuberant imagination and creativity. They are so much caught in their thoughts that they perceive it as reality and not as just thoughts. By acknowledging how the normal anxiety is and what contributes to its exacerbation or improvement, the children are better prepared in being friends to anxiety without feeling overwhelmed. Keywords: anxiety, children, intervention, cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy, mindfulness, acceptance without judgement, living the present moment, changing of perspective, impermanence of facts.
