Blog Post #9: Resilient Kids

I really enjoyed watching the Resilient Kids video and learning more about this organization. I believe that it is EXTREMELY important for kids (and people of all ages) to practice mindfulness in every aspect of their lives. By feeling centered, in control of yourself and your feelings I believe is very important to be successful.

The video mentioned that teachers many times tell students to “calm-down” but if you are telling a child to “calm-down” that does not know how to do so it does not do any good for either the student or the teacher. Resilient Kids teaches students and teachers skills to build focus, balance and self-confidence which are very important qualities to hold.

What I also enjoyed about what Resilient Kids does is that they work with teachers and build lessons that fit within the curriculum. I thought this was very interesting because they are able to teach mindfulness and use the curriculum the teachers have to teach. I believe this is a great organization that helps youths, teachers, schools and everyone involved!
