Mindfulness Basics for Students

Course Description

Are the effects of chronic stress taking their toll on your child or student...

• Distracted thoughts?
• Distressed feelings?
• Disruptive behaviors?

If your child is like most kids today, they are experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety from school, family, and peer pressures that just keep piling up.

This 6-week training program teaches mindfulness skills that help kids feel better and perform better - especially when they're feeling scattered, nervous, frustrated, or just plain overwhelmed.

In fact, your child will learn how to:

• reduce stress
• focus and sustain attention
• calm anxious or angry feelings
• choose thoughtful responses over impulsive reactions
