Paws b Mindfulness (aged 7-11)
A free six-week mindfulness programme for primary school children teaches children basic concepts of mindfulness and how to regulate their emotions.
Paws b [pause & be] is a leading mindfulness programme for children aged 7-11 in schools.
It is taught with striking visuals, film clips and activities that bring mindfulness to life without losing the expertise and integrity of classic mindfulness teaching.
The course consists of six one-hour sessions delivered in school by qualified AWARE NI trainers.
Paws b aims to give children mindfulness as a life skill. They can use it to:
- Feel happier, calmer and more fulfilled
- Get on better with others
- Help them concentrate
- Help them cope with stress and anxiety
- Support performance such as music and sport
Evidence-based research from the Mindfulness in Schools Project (MISP) confirms the positive effects of mindfulness practice when suitably applied to children. Paws b positively improves children’s moods and concentration levels.
