The Importance of Mindfulness for Anxious Students
Bradshaw, Gina
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v11 n2 p27-30 2019
Anxiety is a large issue among youth. Physical and mental symptoms can develop from anxiety, and educators must recognize these symptoms in their students. The stigma that is attached to mental health can make it difficult for students to receive support and treatment. Mindfulness is a way that educators can address anxiety in their classroom. Mindfulness teaches students to understand how their brain reacts to stress, and how to train their brain to interrupt anxiety. Mindful breathing and listening are two strategies that help students self-regulate themselves. A mindfulness program will provide students with tools to help reduce stress and anxiety.
