8-Week Children’s Programme | Personal Development Days Teaching Children Mindfulness & Meditation Course
Perth, Western Australia
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.
Clare hold’s ‘Children’s Movement, Mindfulness & Meditation Classes’ which run for one hour a week for 8-weeks held before, after or during school hours.
Clare also does one-on-one sessions with the students and trains facilitator’s so they can run the 8-week programme at various schools. Clare also attends Personal Development Days for teachers, empowering them with the tools and technique so they can introduce into the classroom.
Clare 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.
Clare believes this 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.
