Mindfulness With Maylis And Katharine

Mindfulness has been a part of Old Firehouse School's work with children for many years. Alex talks with Katharine Peck (OFS Mill Valley)and Maylis Treuil (OFS Lafayette) about how and why they use mindfulness in their classroom, both for the children and for themselves. Being able to be present in the moment is a skill that you can develop at any age. They share some activities they use with children and also some other resources. Some of the resources they mentioned are here: Sitting Still Like a Frog: Mindfulness Exercises for Kids (and Their Parents) I Am Peace: A Book of Mindfulness by Susan Verde What Does It Mean to Be Present? by Rana DiOrio and Eliza Wheeler Go Noodle (YouTube channel with some yoga and self-regulation exercises)
