1: Principles of childhood development

3: Child day care program development

We live in a fast paced, hectic world that not only affects us but children too! Mindfulness is a practice which allows an opportunity to reduce stress and anxiety by being present in the moment. The pause is practiced through an awareness of feelings and senses. Did you know you can start mindfulness practices with children as early as toddlerhood? Participants will learn to incorporate mindfulness in the classroom encouraging relaxation, improved focus, increased self-esteem, better mood, reinforces social skills, decreases worry, promotes favorable decision making, and self-regulation. Participants will discuss how mindfulness can enhance positive behavior management skills in children and assist with transitions.
