About this title

Synopsis

Many kids need a little extra help staying focused in school-and teachers are in need of evidence-based resources to effectively limit disruption in the classroom. In Mindfulness in the Classroom, two experts in the field of mindfulness research, child psychology, and school psychology offer a proven-effective, mindfulness-based intervention strategy. Based on the authors' popular ''Soles of the Feet'' program, this book will help teachers reduce disruptive behavior in children and adolescents so everyone can get back to learning.
