Episode Description

Did you know that daily mindfulness activities can promote more focused and collaborative learning — particularly for students with ADHD? Practicing mindfulness daily brings the class together and encourages students to trust and support one another. A daily dose of mindfulness, at home or in school, improves attention, boosts self-esteem, and helps kids better monitor their emotions. And it’s so easy. Here, learn how teachers, parents, and caregivers can launch the simple, engaging yoga and mindfulness practices shown to help children with ADHD.

In this webinar, teachers and parents will learn:

  1. The social and emotional benefits of mindfulness for children with ADHD
  2. How mindfulness enhances learning and academic achievement
  3. Simple steps for creating a mindfulness routine
  4. Yoga and meditation activities for home
  5. 10 ways teachers can bring mindfulness practice to the classroom
  6. How to create guided meditations at school and home
  7. The best resources to enhance mindfulness
