Educators
Written By casey altman

Paying attention can be hard. Here's a strategy that can help children watch, listen, and learn at home and in school.

We practice focusing by slowly moving our arms up and down, or back and forth, in sync with each other’s movements.

There are dozens of activities like this one in Susan’s activity-based mindfulness course for kids and her book Mindful Games.
