This School Replaced Detention With Meditation. The Results Are Stunning.

  • September 23, 2016

Teaching children to deal with their problems in a calm and collected manner is not an easy task. Any teacher will tell you that it's nearly impossible, all except those at Robert W. Coleman Elementary. According to Upworthy, "Instead of punishing disruptive kids or sending them to the principal's office, the Baltimore school has something called the Mindful Moment Room instead. The room looks nothing like your standard windowless detention room. Instead, it's filled with lamps, decorations, and plush purple pillows. Misbehaving kids are encouraged to sit in the room and go through practices like breathing or meditation, helping them calm down and re-center. They are also asked to talk through what happened."

MEDITATE AND FEEL GREAT! Meditation benefits include improved attention, memory, processing speed, and creativity. It can give you an energizing boost similar to caffeine, and provide your body with rest that is two to five times deeper than sleep. If you or your children are feeling stressed, be sure to check out the two styles of meditation that you and your family can benefit from so that you can have a more calm and stress free day!
