As Mindful Schools co-founder Laurie Grossman says,
“Mindfulness is to pay attention, on purpose, to the present moment.
The positive benefits of teaching mindfulness activities to children have been proven across a number of studies. Incorporating mindfulness into everyday classroom activity is becoming more and more common. A five or ten-minute daily mindfulness practice can see students reduce stress and anxiety, increase concentration and engagement, sleep better, improve social skills, and develop problem-solving and decision-making skills.
Explicitly teaching mindful breathing is providing students with a skill that will be with them for life, in every situation they will ever encounter.”
