Mindfulness and Creative Mindfulness - An Introduction
Mindfulness work with children is not about teaching them to meditate or practise yoga. It does involve the therapeutic use of meditative and breathing techniques but it is also about relaxation and enjoyment, imaginative thinking and having fun. Engaging with Mindfulness can help young people with stress reduction, self-calming and emotional regulation. But it can also hugely increase their ability to focus, to concentrate and learn.
Stan will talk about what mindfulness is, what stress is, how it affects learning and the parts of the brain affected and what Mindfulness can do to help.
Stan will also be joined by Charlotte Murray, Education Psychologist - Stirling Council, who will speak briefly about the development of Mindfulness in nurseries and schools in Stirling. Charlotte has attended workshops with Stan and also uses Stans book Mindfulness Techniques with Children and Young People: A Practical Guide within her work with staff and children.
