As part of SEL (social and emotional learning) many of the students have been focusing on mindfulness.  

Mindfulness: why it’s good for children, teenagers and parents

Mindfulness is focusing your complete attention on what’s happening right now. It’s also letting your thoughts and worries come and go without judgment.  When you practise mindfulness, you will feel generally calmer, more focused and better able to concentrate. And in moments of stress, you’ll be able to pause, relax, see things more clearly and make better decisions.  Overall, mindfulness can reduce stress and boost your wellbeing.

When you encourage children to be mindful, it can help them develop skills to deal with the stress of study, work and play as they get older.   For further information click on the following link;   https://raisingchildren.net.au/school-age/health-daily-care/mental-health/mindfulness-activity-children-parents
