So, a school in Baltimore may have found the answer to trouble kids!
Meditation? Basically, we all know deep down that a lot of problems are caused by anger and frustration.
The traditional way of just screaming back at a kid clearly does not work, in the long run! Detentions in school cause resentment and stiffle learning!
So, maybe this really is the answer? The video and transcript are below:
This Baltimore school replaced detention with mediation.
The results have been incredible at Robert W. Coleman Elementary.
Coleman didn’t have a single suspension last year, the program’s co-founder Andres Gonzalez told MIC.
When a child gets in trouble, they get sent to the Mindful Moment Room.
They do breathing exercises, yoga and talk through the issue with a staff member.
After meditation, kids come back to class attentive and ready to learn.
A 2013 study found that mindfullness training boosted verbal GRE scores by 60 points.
The mediation program is part of the Holistic Life Foundation.
HLF organizes after-school programs and meditation rooms in schools across Baltimore.
Rather than just disciplining kids HLF helps them learn ways of coping with stress and frustration.
