Sometimes even the first day of school desperately needs a redo, and we’re a shining example of that. Yes, sometimes the whole entire day simply needs a redo. It was a perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the kids that sometimes things just go wrong, but there’s always some mercy or blessing to find, no matter...
Teaching children to develop the skill of mindfulness – to be fully present and pay attention to their body, mind, feelings, external circumstances, and other people – is a huge part of helping them maintain access to the rational, thinking part of their brains.
