Eline Snel, author of the bestseller “Calm and attentive like a frog”, has developed a secular method of learning mindfulness for children.
This program is a structured, progressive and playful learning of mindfulness over 8 weeks.
Learning is done through an alternation of short meditations, body exercises, games, stories and discussion time.
This program helps the child to:
– Develop attention and concentration skills
– Strengthen self-confidence
– Become familiar with his inner universe (his emotions, his thoughts)
– Develop emotional intelligence
– Better manage impulses
– Knowing, accepting and regulating one’s emotions
– Develop a caring attitude towards oneself and others
– Feel more relaxed
In our society where everything goes very fast, teaching children to meditate means offering them the chance to know how to slow down, to calm down, to take the time to really get to know themselves and to observe what is going on in them so as not to react automatically. It is to allow them to grow more confident and freer.

SPEAKER
Laurence Thibault
“I have been practicing mindfulness meditation for several years. So I first spontaneously introduced my daughters to this practice and I was able to quickly observe how accessible and enriching it is for children.
Anxious to “do my part”, to engage myself more actively for a better world, I trained with the AMT (Academy for Mindful Teaching – Eline Snel Method) in order to transmit to a greater number of children the mindfulness practice.
As a certified instructor, I am committed to daily mindfulness practice, ongoing training, and regular intensives. »
