Practising mindfulness with children has been shown to bring benefits to their mental health, well-being and resilience. It can also bring benefits to you as a teacher, helping you to feel calmer and less stressed. In this webinar, we will explore what mindfulness is, as well as learning simple ways to start integrating it into the primary classroom. A PDF of useful online resources will also be shared with participants.
