Health and Physical Education - Personal, Social and Community Health
Meditation helps us to calm and focus our minds so that we can be more effective learners.
Teacher/Parent Notes:
- Try to make mindfulness mini-sessions a special time of day. Schedule 5 minutes a day, at a time that suits you and your children.
- A small change in the environment helps children focus on mindfulness practise. You may like to change rooms, dim or turn off the lights or close curtains or blinds.
- These guided meditations are highly effective when practiced in a quiet space.
