Small children have big feelings and oftentimes they don’t know what to do with them. Helping children learn to identify, regulate and constructively express their feelings has become part of every teacher’s job! Learning tools that you can use in the classroom (or at home) to help children stop, calm and make smarter choices, especially when emotionally challenged is essential to any child’s healthy (and happier) development. Invite Maureen to learn new ideas, proven tools and get inspired along the way.

She presents the latest scientific findings, and proven tools that can help in your classroom today.

Scientific studies reveal that children that participate in mindfulness practices in the classroom are happier children. They demonstrate higher test scores, better friendships and more positive mindsets. Learning simple practices that you can bring to your K-8 classroom can make a big difference. Participants get an experience of mindfulness, learn the science behind mindfulness, and gain new tools to bring into their classroom, school or district.

We all want to raise and teach happier children, but the question is always how? Maureen demystifies the keys to becoming happier with a focus on compassion in the classroom (or at home) and shares the latest scientific findings as to what leads children toward and away from their deepest joy. Maureen also covers the latest findings on digital devices, trauma and how everyday habits can be developed in the classroom to help children build resilience and cultivate healthier emotions.
Helping children identify all of their emotions while constructively expressing them takes wisdom, and real-life strategies to assist. In this engaging program, Speaker Maureen shares a whole toolbox of emotions, especially around children who run “hot” or “cold” and how to help them. These tools could be applied to home and used in the classroom. Other common childhood emotions and experiences are explored to equip every participant with the knowledge of how to skillfully respond.
