Sharing Mindfulness in Schools
Dailyonna and Yolanda practice mindfulness after school.
|
|
When it comes to extra-curricular activities for children, teaching mindfulness doesn’t seem to be the first choice. Yet, Reaching Higher students at North Elementary have been practicing mindfulness for the past nine weeks. Thanks to Highfields Mindfulness and Meditation Coordinator, Becky Womboldt, students have learned more than just to sit still.
“My favorite part of mindfulness is getting time away from all the noise,” said Dailyonna.
