(Parents and Children ages 8 to 11 years)

October: Be Happy & Relaxed
Do you have children that are active, perhaps find it not so easy to sleep at night or not so easy to unwind? Then join Annette for this Wednesday afternoon 2 hour workshop with your child. Games and exercises will be used in this worskhop to help you and them more easily release stress or unused energy. We will also discover easy to use tools to help us move our energy and thoughts to a positive place before interacting with family members and others.

Space limited to 4 families.

This activity is based on the Paws.b Mindfulness program as taught by the UK Mindfulness In Schools Organization. Mindfluness is a meditative practice that is non-secular but with origins from Buddhist traditions. 

Mindfulness promotes well-being. It offers knowledge and skills applicable to the child’s life:

• It can be individually tailored to suit each child
• It extends the thinking skills learning It helps children understand themselves better
• It helps them to be resilient and resourceful when life is challenging

Skills and understanding taught can be available throughout their school life and beyond. The feedback from children who have taken part in Paws.b is very positive. The children report enjoying the lessons and finding the learning supports them in a broad range of situations from being able to concentrate and focus more easily in school to helping them feel calmer in exams and competitions. Many have described sharing the learning with other family members and finding it helps them with their relationships with family and friends.

To register please go to the Collège du Léman Website after August 1st, 2016. I am looking forward to helping your children get off to a wonderful start to this school year.
