Mindfulness in the Classroom

Linda Yaron believes in purposefully integrating instruction about mindfulness. Her goal is to equip students with skills that keep them solutions focused and perspective driven. I especially appreciated her guided techniques for teaching students to handle emotions. Eventually, students "come to realize that though they may not be able to control their outer circumstances, they can manage their responses and approach life with awareness and curiosity, rather than reactivity."
