A mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) that teaches kids about their "thinking brains" (prefrontal cortex) and "emotional brains" (amydala). This program uses MBI tools like breathing exercises, body scans, and guided meditations to help kids learn to stop their "fight or flight" emotional brain and instead use their thinking brain to make calm decisions!
