 Positive Minds

    Have you been wondering about how to create a positive environment for your students? Practicing mindfulness can help children stay on track with their academics and boost positive behaviors!

    Mindfulness, as defined by the Greater Good Magazine, is maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens. 

    Starting the practice of mindfulness when children are young will give us an opportunity to create a healthy habit and influence behaviors in their adult life.

    How can you introduce mindfulness in your classroom or with your children at home? You can get started by creating a routine of practicing mindfulness every day for 5 minutes! 

    Create your own schedule with different mindfulness practices for each day of the week and see what works best for you!
