This book provides interesting and fun activities and information that will help children learn the ABC’s of Mindfulness: Attention, Balance, and Compassion. The book is divided into the following chapters:
CHAPTER I: WHAT IS MINDFULNESS?
The first chapter discusses the ABCs of Mindfulness. After reading the chapter, the students can give ABC examples from their own life experiences.
CHAPTER 2: MINDFULNESS 101
The second chapter offers three lessons to help students better understand mindfulness, as well as a lesson that instructs students to set weekly mindfulness goals.
CHAPTER 3, 4, & 5: ATTENTION, BALANCE, COMPASSION
The lessons in these three chapters can be taught in any order depending on the needs of the students. For example, the chapter on attention would be helpful to students with ADHD. The chapter on compassion would benefit individuals or an entire class that may need to work on relationships with peers. Students who are experiencing changes in their lives due to divorce or death would benefit from the chapter on balance. Select the lesson or lessons that are appropriate for your students’ needs. Then print the workbook page(s) for each participating student. If several lessons are selected, print, collate, and staple together the pages to make a mini workbook for each student.
