As a school counselor, my goal is to provide my students skills they can use to foster resilience in their lives when faced with the inevitable challenges life holds. I work with each classroom in my school twice a month to build mindfulness skills and understanding for my students, while also addressing topics such as growth mindset, conflict resolution, coping with difficult emotions, and having empathy for others. Mindfulness is an evidence-based practice that allows children to understand not only how their brain works, but further how they can work to control their emotions and strive to engage in mindful responses to stimuli from their lives, rather than "unmindful" reactions. We use and need musical chimes to signal the start of and close of our mindful practices together, such as visualization, breathing strategies, and progressive muscle relaxation.
