QUOTES
Mindfulness & Children…
"Mindfulness is a very effective response to stress and enhances the neurological process called “executive function”, or the ability to organize tasks, manage time, set priorities, and make decisions.Children can benefit from learning to focus their attention, becoming less reactive, and more compassionate with themselves and others."
- from Planting Seeds by Thich Nhat Hanh
“Teachers may often ask their students to “pay attention”, but they may not teach them how to do so. The practice of mindfulness teaches students how to pay attention, and this way of paying attention enhances both academic and social-emotional learning.”
- Planting Seeds by Thich Nhat Hanh
“Because meditation is an activity that children can improvise and do for themselves, it is fundamentally empowering.Children learn techniques they can use to sooth themselves when upset, focus when they need to, and just be comfortable and awake in the world”.
- Child’s Mind by Christopher Willardhttp://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/global-technology-ceos-wisdom-zen-master-thich-nhat-hanh
