โ€œMindfulness is being fully present in the moment, without judgment, paying attention to what is.โ€

A beautiful reminder to be consciously present in the moment today and to experience the world in and around us with all our senses.

No judgment, no assumptionsโ€ฆ. To welcome everything exactly as it is, without (wanting to) change it. Yes, so also the less pleasant feelings.

Fun exercise to do with kids:
โœจ Invite the children to choose a place outside.
โœจ Give them a piece of paper on which they can write or draw what they can observe with their ears ๐Ÿ‘‚eyes ๐Ÿ‘€skin ๐Ÿ–mouth๐Ÿ‘…and nose๐Ÿ‘ƒ.
โœจ The children are given 5 minutes to be completely still and do this exercise.
โœจ After this you can discuss together what the children have observed.

โ˜˜๏ธ This way the children also learn that every person perceives other things in the same moment.
โ˜˜๏ธ When a child gives a judgment about an observation, for example โ€œa beautiful treeโ€, teach them the difference between judgment and non-judgmental observation.
โ˜˜๏ธ With toddlers you can do this exercise in a group and investigate what they can perceive in the moment with their senses ๐Ÿ‘…๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ‘ƒ. โ€œLet's make our ears really big and listen very carefully to what we can hear in this moment. Let your ears search for different sounds.โ€

In this way you can explore all 5 senses.

Enjoy! And if you know a fun mindfulness exercise for children. Place it under this post, so we inspire each other! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ˜

Here's a fun activity to do with your class or group and promote cooperation and trust.

๐ŸŒณ Stand and place both feet on the floor shoulder-width apart.

๐ŸŒณ To be able to stand more firmly. Imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet (from your heels, balls of the feet, toes, and the center of your feet). Growing very deep into the earth.

๐ŸŒณ Bring your weight to one foot and place your other foot against your leg. Note: Make sure you place your foot above your ankle or knee joint.

๐ŸŒณ Spread your arms in the air like branches and imagine that your branches (and fingers) are full of leaves.

๐ŸŒณ Now feel what it is like to be a tree, firmly grounded in the earth and your branches reaching the sky.

๐ŸŒณ Then you can slowly come out of the pose on an exhale and do exactly the same only with the other leg.

๐ŸŒณ Once both sides have been practiced. Choose your favorite side and get into tree pose one more time. Once standing firm, you can "stick" one hand to your left neighbor's hand and do the same with your right neighbor's hand. This also helps maintain your balance.

๐ŸŒณ Now you are forming a beautiful tree circle in the middle of the forest. Well done! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Options:

๐ŸŒฒ Toddlers do the same, only they keep their feet on the ground.

๐ŸŒฒ For promoting extra balance and confidence in their body and the other children, let them close their eyes for a while.

๐Ÿ’› | Giving every child their own time to evolve and learn. How would education look like then? Let alone the health and well-being of the children.

To realize this we have to rely on the natural development process that is unique to every child AND its perfection.

Like everything in nature, the child develops and blossoms at the right time, in the right form. We cannot force or manipulate this.

So letโ€™s follow the childโ€™s natural developmentโ€ฆ trust his/her wisdom, rhythm, curiosity, and natural aptitude. And this, for the time being, within the rules and design of current education.

Last week we set an intention and reflected on our core values โ€‹โ€‹in the classroom. Check? check. And now it's time for the first school day. Some children are eagerly waiting for the school door to open, others hold their parents hands tightly and look around anxiously.

Time to welcome them in a nice way, so that they can immediately feel seen, heard and safe in the classroom. Our tip? Be creative with your core values. ๐ŸŽจ

Do you value having fun in the classroom? Then welcome the children with a small dance party. Cheerful music, spinning disco lights and balloons: a real party. Is tranquility a core value for you? Then see if you can think of a creative welcome that is in line with that ๐Ÿ“

Do you already have a nice welcome in mind? Let's learn from each other by sharing in the comments ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

There it is the new school year. Now, let's go!

No. Wait, stop, ho. Take a deep breath and take a step back โณ

Have you already tuned into your core values as a teacher, for this year? What is the atmosphere, vibe, and space you want to create with the children? How do you want to let what you value come forth in the space that you create together?

Take a moment to connect with yourself and tune in. Set a sincere intention for yourself and your class. Take that energy with you โ€“ especially in these important formative weeks. You will see that creating this mindful foundation, which is fully aligned with you, will help you get the best out of yourself and the children ๐Ÿ’›

Have we just been sitting still? Oh, no! A lot has happened behind the scenes. For example, Team JTTB has been expanded with a social media manager: Stella! She will introduce herself to you shortly.

After inspiring brainstorming hours and sparkling chat sessions, we are ready to shower you with stimulating content, fun inspiration, and educational facts ๐Ÿง 

Coming up soon are fun and impactful tips on how to kick off the new school year mindful and purposeful and create a friendly and safe learning environment for your students and yourself. Nurturing a strong foundation that will benefit your class all year round.
