Two school years and 16 adventures later….
Hello Friends,
Two school years and 16 adventures later, fifth graders at Fratney Elementary have made it to the celebration at the end of the series of Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Workbooks for Kids!
We followed our map through 16 lands, and 11 real kids from the “kids’ team” along with a host of animals helped us learn how mindful self-compassion can help us with the difficult moments in life.
I don’t want to spoil the ending, but it’s full of ups, downs, and self-compassion!
We had a lot of fun over the past two years, and I know that these students learned so much that they will take with them and benefit from the rest of their lives.
Here are a few quotes that the kids and classroom teacher shared:
“I really like the feelings habit animals and the resilience habit animals. Snuggles really helped me a lot and the kind touches.” -Sofie
“I learned to control my emotions and what are my emotions.” -Mariana
“I really like how it shows you the animals that are struggling with stuff and the ones that can help it.” -Stella
“I felt it really helpful to find out what my resilience habit was and how it could help me with my feelings.” -Rosa
“I just really learned how to deal and cope with stuff.” -Hilde
“The animals show you how [to handle emotions], and also I really like it because it makes me know how to control myself.” -Byron
“You have been with us these past two years, and the students have enjoyed it. They love it, and they even grew more. They have more knowledge about how to handle their emotions. Thank you.” -Mr. Gustavo
Teaching these kids the lessons from both workbooks was such a joy! I dream of this program being taught in schools across the world (it’s already being taught in a school in Kazakhstan!).
I’ve created a new teacher training pathway for learning to teach these lesson to kids that’s very accessible. Register before the end of May to receive a 20% discount on the first training.
Next week, I will share more good news (there a lot more goodness!), and I’ll also share a special gift with you. It’s almost my birthday, and I wish for us all to celebrate with something special. Be sure to check your email next week for a gift.
Thanks for sharing in my joy, and I can’t wait to celebrate more with you next week.
With love and gratitude,
Jamie Lynn
