Hi Teri,

I'm absolutely interested.  My background includes hosting the WSB Radio Show Bob Lancer's Parenting Solutions from 1996 - 2014 (thanks to the efforts of Carey Sipp, another member of ACES), plus much more media experience.  Best way to coordinate this would be via email at bob@boblancer.com. You can also call or text at 770-364-9580. Very much looking forward to hearing from you.

Wonderful! Thank you. I will reach out via email today.

Peace,

Teri

This is so important. My school is training teachers in mindfulness techniques. I hope that districts and states around the country follow through with support for staffing and space required for more Mindful Moment Rooms.

I agree! The idea of having a Mindful Moment Room truly makes my heart smile. What a beautiful way to educate children on self-regulation. Happy to read that your school is training educators. Way to go! If you'd ever like to join me on The Healing Place podcast to discuss it further, please let me know.

Peace,

Teri

I think you will be very impressed with the 7 Mindsets Social Emotional Learning Programs that we are providing in Elementary, Middle and High Schools.  This is a mindfulness based program that awakens students (and teachers) to the power of their minds and how to harness it.  We've reached over 500,000 young people to date, and the movement is growing strong. Behavior improves, academic performance improves, attendance improves, graduation rates improves, and students are equipped with real wisdom for life.  See www.7mindsets.com for more information.  Happy to chat with you about this at 770-364-9580.

So very cool! I love this. I need to have you join me on The Healing Place Podcast to discuss it further. Let me know if you are interested. I've had several ACEs Connection members join me on air to talk about their missions, passion, inspiring stories, and more. 

Thanks for all you are doing to help further the mindfulness reach.

Peace,

Teri

How wonderful! The Montessori Method involves mindfulness training through the work children do with the manipulatives in the classroom, something few seem to understand and appreciate.  When more adults learn to meditate effectively there will be many more happy, beautifully behaving children, as it is adult stressful reactions that impose so much anxiety, including trauma, on the young developing child.

I worked in the Head Start program for years and that last sentence you wrote struck a chord " . . . as it is adult stressful reactions that impose so much anxiety, including trauma, on the young developing child." That was incredibly evident with our school children and their families. Thankfully programs like Head Start exist to foster these families needs. Thanks for your feedback! I've heard such positive reports about the Montessori programs.

Peace,

Teri
