MINDFULNESS PORTFOLIO - Gratitude Meditation Feelings

When we teach mindfulness to children, we are equipping them with the tools to help manage stress and approach life’s challenges.

Mindfulness can help to shape key critical skills that are developed in early childhood. These include the ability for children with attention to task and retain information, shift between tasks and displaying appropriate behaviours. These abilities are known as executive functions and they are essential for more advanced tasks like planning, reasoning, problem-solving and developing social relationships.

So why not give our children the best head start by teaching them all about mindfulness and how they can practice mindfulness and gain the benefits. This “Mindfulness Portfolio” includes everything that your students will need to get started on their mindfulness journey.
