Why Try a 3-Minute Mindfulness Break?
Even a few minutes of intentional calm can help children:
- Regulate their emotions after transitions or busy times
- Improve attention and focus before academic tasks
- Feel grounded and safe in the classroom environment
Research shows that mindfulness practices can support learning, self-regulation, and emotional awareness. Teachers often notice smoother transitions and a more positive tone in the room after using mindfulness activities like this one.
