Mindfulness Magic
Mindfulness can help improve concentration, regulate emotions, and build self-confidence. Mindfulness also provides opportunity to learn about physical experiences and enhances the ability to self-soothe/relax. Mindfulness promotes kindness, patience, and gratitude. For children with learning disabilities/ADHD, mindfulness training has been shown to improve attention, focus, memory, self-understanding and self-acceptance. It also helps alleviate anxiety by focusing on the present rather than fearing the future. Goals: 1) give tools to choose options other than anger, fear, anxiety, stress 2) encourage positive emotions 3) improve emotional/cognitive awareness 4) increase focus on present
