#2> students have learned mindfulness techniques like breath awareness, thought observation, and emotional monitoring as part of their regular curriculum
Children are full of energy - they need to be let loose and run around. It’s like trying to teach peaceful and quite a 6 months old dog - you can’t. You need to let them burn all that energy.

#3My belief is that societal and technological sophistication is overall extremely stressful for organisms that were prepared for a very different life by evolution.
Our neurosis is a byproduct of our success and of the highly complex and competitive nature of our social interactions.
Touching grass, spending time with animals, learning to accept and appreciate our animal roots, is what can balance the stress.

#4Religious studies fails to make kids more religious. Abstinence programs taught in schools fail to increase celibacy. Health programs fail to dent mcdonalds market share. Arithmetic fails to stop people taking on unnecessary and punitive debt.
The point being pushing things (good, bad or ugly) in schools often doesn't work out as hoped. Schooling is not a solved problem but it is a very crude tool used badly and often brutally by people of all kinds who wish to improve society by giving kids the tools to... You've heard it all before.

I find this continues to be true in my adulthood. With the blessing of remote work (or failing that, an office culture that doesn't mind), I'm very happy to take a midday walk and enjoy the outdoors. I'm very certain that if I had compatriots with me now like I did during school recess that we'd definitely find some sticks and swordfight with them, or climb rocks and trees, age be damned.

This is also the way you get sleep at night (tire them out so they sleep through the night). It also sets them up for healthy habits as adults.

#9I mean yeah. Giving someone new information can change their behavior if they incorporate it. But pushing them to act in a certain way.. Probably not, unless it's coercive, which is bad for other reasons.
If you want kids to be mindful, be mindful yourself.

I've never seen an office culture that minded people taking a walk (unless the team was in war room or something). A lot of workers go out to buy lunch anyway.
For hourly production workers that have to clock in/out and may only get a fixed 30 lunch break then it is more difficult.
