This course is an adaptation of the 8 week MBSR adult mindfulness course designed to work for children across 12-16 weeks. The children explore concepts such as intention, presence, paying attention, resilience, cultivating kindness, and defining purpose. The diversity of themes explored plus the practical nature of the course means children can experience for themselves what works for them. It is a really fun interactive course, that combines traditional teaching methods using an interactive white board as well as physical practices. This course sets the children up with a long-term mindfulness practice that they can continue to apply through life.
