Peaceful Kids (Preschool)
'Peaceful Kids' (Preschool) is a Mindfulness and Positive Psychology based program to lessen anxiety and stress, and to increase resilience in children aged 4-5 years old. The program develops emotional intelligence skills, teaches children how to self-calm, self-regulate, and how to train their attention to be more focused and engaged in learning. This program helps children to build their emotional resilience so they are better equipped to deal with the day-to-day stresses that life brings them. 'Peaceful Kids' includes a range of mindfulness strategies, breathing exercises, crafts that revolve around studied topics, therapeutic stories, fun mindful movements, and an introduction to meditation. Simple, effective, and proven exercises help students to stay calm, relaxed, focused, and therefore learn more effectively during the day.
The program is based on evidence-based therapy and research from the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program (MBSR), Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MiBCT), Positive Psychology, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The program is endorsed by the Board of Studies, Teaching and Educational Standards (BOSTES) and Australian Counselling Australia (ACA). It is a registered training course through the Meditation Association of Australia (MA).
