Mindfulness help children because it offers a number of benefits, which include Health, Performance and Relationship benefits. Mindfulness is becoming a central part of Teaching and Enjoy TEFL includes 2 Free Mindfulness Courses with every TEFL Course because we feel positive that it will help you become an excellent teacher. The course has been specially designed to be used in ESL and Non-ESL  Classrooms because the activities are suitable for all ages. We have also created some excellent video animations for you and your students to watch to help understand the scientific research behind Mindfulness http://bit.ly/1CkC7Eb
The Mindfulness for Children course will introduce your students to the practice of Mindfulness using FUN ACTIVITIES and give them an understanding of what Mindfulness means and what it can do. We believe that overtime a student can begin to use these Mindful Skills naturally throughout the day, without having to think about doing it too much. This will allow them to be in the present more often, which will give them MORE POSITIVE INTERACTIONS WITH THE WORLD, and allow them to enjoy those wonderful little moments, they sometimes miss.
In summary Mindfulness helps children because it will allow them to become more aware and improve decision making, which is an excellent way to build Emotional Intelligence. In the future we need more Leaders and decision makers to be more emotional connected to the individuals they are helping.
