Le besoin : quel problème tentez-vous de résoudre ?
Today, our children are being diagnosed with depression, anxiety, ADHD, eating disorders, addictions and other self-destructive behaviors at epidemic rates. Cruelty, bullying and violence are on the rise. Most children could benefit from enriching the capacity to pay attention, to become less reactive, and to be more compassionate with themselves and others.
Over 30 years of research proves “mindfulness”,"concentration” decreases stress, depression, anxiety, and hostility, and enhances executive function, compassion and empathy.
Educators benefit from understanding the evidence-based science and how to integrate it into their school day. Developing inner-peace and the quality of full presence is our ultimate goal for our children.
La solution: quelle solution proposez-vous ? Soyez précis !
It is safe to assume that the remarkable results of stress-reduction and better overall well-being that we find in applying mindfulness to adults would be proven with children if the same practices are re-crafted with a child-orientation and applied over time to their experiences. The CenteredKids Class and Coaching Series as well as the educator seminars "CenteredStudents" provide just this.
Through a series of 9 classroom visits over a month period, combined with educator workshops, class and home reminders and even "PResent-Moment-Parenting" groups to help support at home, our children enjoy calm, centered, emotional-regulation and a well-cultivated sence of empathy for themselves and eachother

he focus is on helping our children experience their natural inner stillness and quietness, what we call the Center. Engaging in a variety of explanations, examples and exercises to practice coming from Center supports the development of a new habit. That habit is self-regulation. With practice, children will naturally engage in the techniques and tools when they need to be calm, collected, controlled because they have had exposure and experience and they are familiar with how to get there.
In essence, we have the ability to empower them to deal with life in new and deeply effective ways. We can develop empathy in kids. Empathy as a learned response is the goal.
We deliver the program in 15 or 25-minute sessions. When working with parent/child coaching, we work with 45-minute sessions and increase practice and discussion components.
Ideally, three times per week will require one 3-week cycle for immersion into the program. From there, we suggest weekly Centeredkids Class or sessions for maintaining the positive results. These sessions are 30 minutes and open for discussion and sharing of experiences.
Mindfulness skills training is the perfect complement to any drug awareness & prevention initiative and works on the “development of empathy” core asset of Anti-Bully programming. Current research on these important links is provided and referenced.
All of the programs, class series as well as professional development workshops and one-on-one coaching are available and customized to the needs and budgets of schools and organizations.

Competition in this space is very limited. I was trained by the Mind Up! organization who deals primarily with educators, and Mindful Schools, who's core program is encompassed inside of CenteredKids. There a few single and small companies offering mindfulness education to schools, but the sector is brand new, ripe with opportunity and huge in terms of need.

Founding Story: We want to hear about your "Aha!" moment. Share the story of where and when the founder(s) saw this solution's potential to change the world [125 words]
It was by default and not design that I discovered the miracles of mindfulness, meditation and breath to relieve stress from our home! In times of tension or “crisis” we now watch our children naturally reach deep inside themselves to manage their emotions and find a personal, serene and safe place of comfort.
These concepts were new to me and even more foreign as tools for discipline, communication and child-rearing. As a business counselor, and personal coach, I began to find many other people in need of such solutions. I began to learn and then share simple breath, awareness and mindfulness practices with others and was amazed at what I saw. Children were less reactive , more empathetic, more aware and able to regulate their internal condition! Magnificent and powerful, the practices grew into classes and classes grew into adult education programs. Over 5 years, we've added non-violent communication and special resilient life skills training necessary in tween and teen years.
