Can mindfulness training make young kids better students?
ClassDojo is launching new mindfulness lessons for elementary school kids to help them learn to calm themselves and lower their stress levels.
In our smartphone-centric and distraction-prone society, the simple act of sitting quietly in a chair to focus only your breathing might seem novel, but it can have real benefits: If you can keep your feet flat, hands in your lap, and focus only on inhaling and exhaling through your nose, you should begin to feel more calm and present in your body. That’s one simple mindfulness technique, one of many associated with reduced stress and anxiety, and positive health benefits.
