How can we help our students navigate challenges with confidence, mental well-being, and presence? While many schools implement social emotional learning or guidance programs, this book shows an easy, effective, and sustainable way to incorporate mindfulness into your classroom no matter what grade or subject you teach.

Tara Segree, recipient of the 2021 Innovative Educator Award and a collaborator of the Mini Meditations for Kids podcast, shows how mindful practices can help students build confidence, overcome anxiety, focus, engage in learning, find their strengths, and more.

Chapters provide tools and activities for incorporating mindfulness into your day-to-day teaching, as well as ideas for partnering with families so students can continue their practice at home. Special features include The 30-Day Mindfulness Challenge to give you an accessible way to try mindfulness with your students, and pages with journal prompts to help you on your own mindfulness journey.
