Second grade students at Bugbee Elementary school will participate in a day-long Mindfulness & Me Retreat that will include five mindful activities and experiences that they can practice and use independently. When we teach mindfulness to children, we equip them with life-long tools to build self-esteem, manage stress, and skillfully approach challenges. By teaching children meditation and mindfulness skills, we help them increase their well-being and enable them to meet the stresses of the world with presence, compassion, and perseverance.
