I love this story about how one elementary school is seeing positive results from their mindfulness practices. And I especially love that NPR sees this as newsworthy--thank you NPR!!

Challenges like the weather and changes in the environment are great opportunities to teach our kids not to be fragile.

I love this article from Breathe for Change about how effective communication skills can improve our mental health. This is an area I've been working on for awhile now, and I definitely agree.

I love this article! The author gives very specific recommendations for teachers to apply these skills. I especially like the idea of using a chime during transitions. I'm going to try this one!

Some great tips for promoting calm in the classroom.
