What’s working: In my school district we are teaching mindful exercise programs to improve concentration skills. These programs are creating a culture where the parents can be involved in the health and fitness of their child, as well as in their child’s ability to relax and learn in a less stressful enviornment.
What’s not working: There are no programs established at the school level with community partners to implement mindful exercise programs. although many people in the community are interested in the program, the central school district does not provide funding or access to develop opportunnities for all schools.
