Mindfulness and Youth Behavior Challenges
In today's world, stress affects us more than ever before.
Wisdom From The Edge recognizes that children reflect this reality, with internalized stress causing withdrawal and externalized stress leading to challenging behaviors.
The program teaches teachers to assess behaviors using skills like empathetic listening, social-emotional awareness, and de-escalation techniques.
Through effective collaborative conversations, teachers aim to form partnerships that foster hope, agency, and success in their students.
