This training will describe what is mindfulness practice and mindfulness meditation. We will explore the history of mindfulness, the benefits of this practice and how it can be applied in the classroom for predominately children 2 years and up. Staff members and parents are encouraged to practice these techniques with the children in our program. As we are facing many transitions in today’s time, mindfulness practice and meditation is encouraged to help children and adults release stress and worried thoughts. It has many mental and physical health benefits. It is a practice that can be applied in almost every environment of a child’s life. The child can take this practice into adulthood as positive coping mechanisms when they deal with obstacles, conflict, or a crisis.

After taking an ECE Credential course, I appreciated the input from the other participants. We formed a close learning community from the training event. A learned skill that I will implement in my program was to focus on higher direct engagement with the school age children and allowing for more independent activities.
