<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Imagine an academic year where students and educators alike grow, and learn more about themselves and others, integrating mindful activities seamlessly throughout the school day.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Imagine a classroom that is regulated, calm and present.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Everything you need in one product.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When practiced regularly, witness improved behavior outcomes, social skills, and overall social-emotional development of students.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We know you don’t want to have to learn another initiative.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We know you want something that works.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We know you don’t have a lot of time to spare.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Believe me, working in schools for the past 17 years has taught me that educators need proven techniques that they can use simply.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have your back and we understand the pressures of time, testing, busyness, distraction, and stress!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you can do a little each day for yourself and your class, you will see the shift happen.</span></p>
<p><b>What does the shift look like?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It's returning to focus with less drama and emotional outbursts.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s putting a pause between impulse and action...in other words, self-control.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s freeing up your time from behavior management to connect with students.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It's easier transitions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s learning along with your students, and growing together.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It's your students feeling your love and presence.</span></p>
