Building Confidence and Improving Focus Through Mindfulness - Small Group Class

In this fun and interactive small group class, your child will learn mindfulness techniques that will help them improve their focus and attention, regulate their emotions, find calm, develop emotional resilience, and increase their self-confidence.

Mindfulness is an essential skill that can benefit young children, building their self-confidence and helping them succeed in school and in life. 

My teaching style is extremely patient and thoughtful. I am focused on creating a nurturing and supportive environment where your child can feel comfortable learning simple and easy to use mindfulness techniques that they can integrate into their daily routines so that they have the tools to handle each day as it comes. 

I have a playful and engaging approach, using fun mindfulness exercises and creative activities that will motivate and help your child to explore the art of staying present, managing their emotions, and enhancing their ability to focus and pay attention.

I graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a Bachelor's Degree from Columbia University, earned a Master's in Early Childhood Education, and have over 20 years of experience teaching and working with young students.

Through our weekly classes together, your child will improve their attention span and focus, increase their emotional awareness and competency, increase their feelings of compassion toward themselves and others, and learn to enjoy the beauty of life in the present moment. 

By learning and then integrating mindfulness into their daily lives, your child can develop a stronger sense of self, improved emotional regulation, and a more positive outlook, all of which contribute to greater self-confidence. 

Each week we will work on new techniques. You can join the class at any time! 

Skills and techniques we will work on in our sessions include:

🌟 learning how to focus through mindful listening and mindful observation exercises
🌟 practicing breathing exercises and developing self-awareness 
🌟 recognizing different emotions 
🌟 finding calm and gaining control over responses to hard situations
🌟 learning to pause and be thoughtful before acting
🌟 developing a strong sense of self through personal affirmations 
🌟 practicing gratitude for others and for the positive aspects of each day

I look forward to meeting your child and beginning our mindfulness journey!
