<b>A guide for busy elementary educators on how to easily incorporate mindfulness activities into existing curriculum</b><br /><br /> Teaching students how to focus and self-regulate at a young age can provide them with skills that will help throughout their schooling and adult lives.

This interactive, research based curriculum helps preK and elementary teachers integrate simple, ready-to use stretching, breathing, and reflective exercises as well as other mindfulness practices into their daily routines. Includes digital content with reproducible handouts from the book.
