1 Self-report measures

One of the simplest and most accessible ways to measure mindfulness-based coaching for children is to use self-report measures. These are questionnaires or scales that ask children to rate their own levels of mindfulness, stress, anxiety, mood, self-esteem, or other relevant variables. Self-report measures can be administered before, during, and after the coaching sessions to track the changes and progress of the children. Some examples of self-report measures for children are the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM), the Perceived Stress Scale for Children (PSS-C), and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children (PANAS-C).

Using a journal is important when getting feedback from people doing mindfulness work. This is also helpful with children if are willing to write. Getting them to be consistent is the main challenge. If nothing else, ask them to write about the quality of their experience and how they felt while practicing.

2 Behavioral measures

Another way to measure mindfulness-based coaching for children is to use behavioral measures. These are objective indicators of how the children behave in different situations or tasks that require mindfulness, attention, or emotional regulation. Behavioral measures can be observed by the coach, the parents, the teachers, or other professionals who interact with the children. Some examples of behavioral measures for children are the Attention Network Test (ANT), the Stroop Test, the Emotion Regulation Task (ERT), and the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS).

3 Physiological measures

A third way to measure mindfulness-based coaching for children is to use physiological measures. These are biological markers of how the children respond to stress, arousal, or emotions at the level of the nervous system, the endocrine system, or the immune system. Physiological measures can be collected by using devices or instruments that measure the children's heart rate, blood pressure, skin conductance, cortisol, or cytokines. Some examples of physiological measures for children are the Heart Rate Variability (HRV), the Electrodermal Activity (EDA), the Salivary Cortisol, and the Cytokine Profile.

4 Qualitative measures

A fourth way to measure mindfulness-based coaching for children is to use qualitative measures. These are descriptive and interpretive data that capture the children's experiences, perceptions, and meanings of mindfulness-based coaching. Qualitative measures can be gathered by using methods such as interviews, focus groups, narratives, or diaries. Qualitative measures can provide rich and nuanced insights into the benefits and challenges of mindfulness-based coaching for children. Some examples of qualitative measures for children are the Semi-Structured Interview, the Focus Group Discussion, the Narrative Inquiry, and the Reflective Diary.

5 Mixed methods

A fifth and final way to measure mindfulness-based coaching for children is to use mixed methods. These are approaches that combine and integrate two or more of the methods mentioned above to provide a more comprehensive and holistic evaluation of mindfulness-based coaching for children. Mixed methods can enhance the validity, reliability, and generalizability of the results and can also address the limitations and biases of each method. Some examples of mixed methods for children are the Convergent Design, the Explanatory Design, the Exploratory Design, and the Triangulation Design.

One of the key benefits of mindfulness is it supports emotional regulation and enables the individual to focus on the present. With this in mind, improved relationship with self and others should be one of the ways to measure impact of mindfulness coaching in children. Are they being more responsive and positive in their interactions (as opposed to reactive)? Are they expressing themselves in more confident manner and able to speak from their experience yet understand that others’ experience may differ? Do they know their limits and boundaries? As well as respecting others boundaries? Are they working more collaboratively with those around them?
