Pin It Mindfulness is a life skill that can strengthen ATTENTION.
If someone texts you a simple .b, STOP and take a breath! I learned this today. It is a way of focusing on what our bodies and breath are doing. Take the thinking and over-thinking away and be more present. I am so excited about this new journey. I am being trained in Mindfulness and hope to bring a .b program to my students.
They are developing a program for students 6-11 years old as we speak!!!

A Thought

Pin It Critical Thinking...solving problems, filtering opinion versus fact, seeing things through other's eyes. How do we teach our students to do this? We need to model how to listen and how to have discussions.
It goes back to my days in Clinical Psychology...

"The stronger person is not the one making the most noise but the one who can quietly direct the conversation toward defining and solving problems."
