CALMER, LESS ANGRY, LESS WORRIED, MORE FOCUSED, ETC.). 97% OF TEACHERS SAW AN INCREASE IN STUDENT COMPASSION TOWARD SELF AND OTHERS. 78% OF STUDENTS PRACTICE MINDFULNESS OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL 94% OF TEACHERS SAW CHANGES IN STUDENTS' ABILITY TO REGULATE EMOTIONS."MINDFULNESS IS DEFINITELY AT WORK DAILY IN MY CLASSROOM AND COMES BEFORE ANY ACADEMIC WORK. KIDS ARE MORE SUCCESSFUL WHEN THEY USE STRATEGIES TO FOCUS AND BE IN THE HERE AND NOW. I COULDN'T TEACH SUCCESSFULLY WITHOUT MINDFULNESS." -SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS TEACHER"THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WHEN MY SON IS EITHER FRUSTRATED OR TRYING TO IMPROVE AT SOMETHING AND REACHING A BLOCK THAT HE TURNS TO MEDITATION. IT IS SO AWESOME, AND IT HELPS HIM CALM DOWN AND REFOCUS." -MOTHER OF 1ST GRADER AT HAWTHORNE ELEMENTARY
