Calming Minds 8-Week Programme
address children’s wellbeing through
Movement, Mindfulness & Meditation
taught during school term at various primary schools across Perth
Calming Minds have developed an experience based 8-week programme covering focus areas in the Child Protection Curriculum and aligning with the Australian Health and Physical Education Curriculum strands. Using current evidence based research, students can experience the benefits of quietening and calming their minds while regulating their own emotions in a fun way. To improve their ability to retain and recall information, improve concentration and learn to redirect mind chatter from a negative to a positive mindset to support good mental health.
Calming Minds ‘Children’s Movement, Mindful Meditation 8-Week Programme’ are held at various schools across Perth, Western Australia during school term. The programme runs for one hour a week, for 8-weeks.
Calming Minds not only offers group sessions, but also facilitates children’s one-on-one sessions to address individual children’s needs.
Calming Minds also attends Personal Development Days for teachers, empowering them with the tools and technique so they can introduce into the classroom and/or introduce into their own life.
Calming Minds believes it is instrumental in enabling others to introduce mindful techniques and meditation to children, to creating more balanced environments for conducive learning and to help children regulate their own emotions in time of stress or fear while reprogramming their self-belief.
Mindful Meditation is such a special gift we can give to our children, not only so they can use in their every day life now but a beautiful skill-set they can take into their adulthood.
