Live Video Call and Q&A with Daniel Rechtschaffen
WATCH NOW: Daniel Rechtschaffen on Playing Attention – Fun and Engaging Lessons from the 5 Literacies of Mindful Learning
Recording of Live Call on Thursday, November 8th
Hello from Newport, RI!
Thanks, my students will love Spiderman breathing. I work with students with high support needs, many are non-verbal. I find many mindfulness activities require a lot of verbal communication from the students. It is very difficult to gage the reflections on the activity with the students with communication difficulties.
Thank you so much from Naples, Italy. Here the people need so much mindfulness, and I hope to bring it into schools.
Thank you for existing and for your generous offerings and inspirations.

¡Hola! Soy Cecilia de Venezuela, hoy puse en práctica una estrategia de Atención Plena en un difícil grupo de adolescentes de un barrio marginal de mi ciudad y pude notar con gran espectación de mi parte, cómo el grupo cambió de actitud y pudimos finalizar la sesión efectivamente, al mostrar las participantes una actitud positiva hacia si mismas y su superación personal.

Hi from England. Thank you so much for today, Fran
I am not a teacher but I am interested in the possibility of bringing what I learn to incarcerated individuals. I really don’t know what if any certifications are involved with the industry. What would I be certified to do exactly if I completed the teacher courses? I am in the process of watching all The Awake Network Mindful Education Summit courses so I can get certified with that too, but I still don’t really know that I understand what that could or would certify me to do exactly….
I am trying to sign up for the teacher course. Not sure where to put in discount code.
Thank you for reinforcing many points that I have talked about with staff.
Thank you Daniel. The Self-Regulation piece to support upset students is something I would like to learn more about. This was perfect!
Thanks!

How do you teach how to notice the spinning thoughts objectively? Can you show a practice you could use to stop the hamster wheel?
I like the way you use I notice, that it helps them have a sense of input and make them parte of the exercise?
Any tips on how to approach or start the process of calming a child that is already in a tantrum, or reacting to something by going into survival mode, and resisting any contact or reasoning?
I am a child therapist and am so happy to learn how you help children feel their emotions in their bodies. Your examples have been very helpful. In my experience some children and teens really struggle with this – they just seem unable to locate their feelings in their bodies. So, my question is, do you have a go-to exercise for those kids and teens who really struggle with this?
Hi, Toni Johnson, school psychologist, from MI. I started going into classrooms and teaching Mindfulnessness to middle schoolers last week. Also, set up a Mindfulness room for the building and going to soon open it up to all students for Mindful Monday’s during lunch.

Looking for information on kids responsiveness to mindfulness.
Thank you Daniel for the very interesting activities to engage children! How about physical literacy with hyperactive children to have them to be present and sense their bodily sensation?
Also children who are attention deficit, ADHD essentially.

Kevin My understanding is that mindfulness is a part of our true being, what we do is show others it’s existence, by a mindful meditation practices, I am not a teacher, but over the years I’ve observed how well listening with love,&, compassion helps to draw youngsters into being aware ,naturally aware of what going on around them without being judgmental,that’s the task for teachers.To see what is as it is !
Love the practices and the kids’ ways of pausing and noticing.

Hi my name is Heidi Voorhees and I would like to learn about educating mindfulness. I would like to use what I learn to help incarcerated individuals (including juveniles) because I used to be one. Mindfulness and meditation helped me in so many ways while I was incarcerated and continues to improve and maintain my well being now that I’m free. I don’t know the exact statistics but I know there is a lot of suffering due to mental and emotional problems. I would like to learn how to help incarcerated individuals help themselves.
Good Evening!

All our kids get along very well, and it has been easier than expected all around, coming together as one!
I am interested in whatever tools or teachings I can use within my own home, promote to employees, or integrate with community resources. I am especially interested in learning about experience or suggestions related specifically to young children dealing with Trauma. My 6 year old daughter struggles with anxiety, related to the Abusive relationship I had previously with her father. I look forward to the call!
