About the event
Research shows that mindful awareness and compassion practices promote the cognitive and emotional capacities needed to flourish. Developmentally appropriate mindfulness and compassion practices can be introduced to young children to support social and emotional learning and set the stage for academic learning. Dr. Jennings presents this research in simple, easy to use mindfulness, compassion practices proven to enhance resilience and promote well-being. A continental breakfast, buffet lunch, a choice of four workshops and a featured presentation from Arts for Learning Maryland will round out the enriching day.
