This little quote and graphic sums up the goal of our Peace Program at Lafayette quite nicely. While traditional character education, conflict resolution, and social-emotional learning programs include lots of instruction on stimuli and reactions, the mindfulness part adds the missing link for getting from one point to the other. Giving our kids that space during the hectic school day-- and teaching them how to take it for themselves whenever life's stresses appear --is an amazing and precious life tool!
