Mindfulness
The Mindfulness Program allows instructors from Minds Over Matter to come into our classroom to teach mindfulness.
Mindfulness is a life skill that gives children tools to focus their attention, regulate their emotions and create stillness within their bodies. This program is non-secular and is not meditation. It’s about paying attention to what is happening in and around your mind and body right now. Practicing this focused attention helps children learn how to calm themselves during stressful times, improves performance, boosts the immune system, and increases empathy for self and others.
