Understanding Mindfulness is a modern life skill as important as any curriculum subject. Learning how to live in the ‘now’ — learning to be more consciously aware — enables students to notice their thoughts and emotions, identify a difference between impulses and actions.

Practicing Mindfulness encourages skillful decision-making. Students will empathise more, learn from each other, discover how to make the most of relationships.

Mindfulness for Schools is a 54-page A4 spiral ring book with a CD.
Price £30 + p&p.

It is written by Carol Cattley and Jini Lavelle and published by Goodwill Art. Drawings by Bryan Gander.
