Why Mindfulness In School?
In today’s world, the stressors of daily life can cause children and adults alike to feel frustrated, overwhelmed and anxious.
Calm Classroom provides practical mindfulness-based tools to help us manage stress and achieve emotional well-being throughout the day by activating the body’s relaxation response. When we’re feeling focused, relaxed and energized, we are empowered.
