Introducing mindfulness into the lives of our children and teenagers is perhaps the greatest gift we can offer. Mindfulness builds emotional intelligence, boosts happiness, increases curiosity and engagement, reduces anxiety and depression, soothes the pain of trauma, and helps kids (and adults) focus, learn,and make better choices. Join Dr. Christopher Willard in this one-day seminar on bringing mindfulness to children and teens in the classroom, clinic, and beyond. Dr. Willard will shave proven practices and share how to integrate these practices into your classroom and schools. You will examine the research behind mindfulness, including the latest from advances in the neurobiology of learning and emotions. You will learn how to harness the benefits of present-focused awareness for students, including at-risk youth and those with special needs. Discover ways to incorporate mindfulness into a broad range of activities, such as movement, music, games, writing, art, and more, for attention spans from 30 seconds to 30 minutes.
