Teaching Kids to Pause, Cope, and Connect: Lessons for Social Emotional Learning and Mindfulness

This book was developed so you can easily and effectively integrate mindfulness and SEL into your classroom experience. We designed each lesson to be completed within about fifteen minutes with very little preparation. The intent of this book is to teach mindfulness and social-emotional awareness in a way that is accessible, practical, and realistic for you and your students. Our hope is that as you move through these lessons, your students will develop greater awareness, self-acceptance, empathy, and compassion. By the end, we hope that you will discover you have nurtured a kinder, more tolerant community.
