Supporting Children in Developing a Practice of Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a simple technique that emphasizes paying attention to the present moment in an accepting, nonjudgmental manner. As we reflect upon Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years and the foundation of well-being, it speaks to lifelong learning habits. Habits formed early in life will inform behaviours in adulthood, and with mindfulness, we have the opportunity to give our children the habit of being peaceful, kind, and accepting.

This session will offer resources and experiences that will highlight the benefits of mindfulness and enhance your curriculum for children of all ages.
