Does your child have a problem focusing for extended periods of time? Is your child easily stressed or overwhelmed by all of the stimuli they receive throughout the day? This course is perfect for any child and will empower them to better understand their feelings & emotions while learning Mindfulness techniques and activities they can use in their daily lives. I have been teaching Mindfulness practices to students for over seven years now, and have seen amazing benefits and changes in children. They learn to respond wisely instead of reacting blindly to any given situation. I believe that Mindfulness is not just sitting still and being calm, but is more about bringing presence and fully showing up to everything we do in life. I teach Mindfulness in a fun and engaging way so kids can use the tools in their lives! What will students learn?

It helps students to increase their focus & concentration; helps them to manage their emotions and calm themselves in any difficult situations. No background knowledge is required to learn mindfulness. At the end of each session, students will get the challenge for the week and will practice what they have learned that week, and they will share their experiences of what they have noticed during the week.
