An increasing number of academic studies have proven the potential benefits of mindfulness practices for students’ physical health, psychological well-being, social skills, academic performance, and more.  Other studies have indicated that mindfulness may be effective for reducing stress and burnout in teachers and administrators as well. Though Attention regulation is the core benefit of Mindfulness practice for children.
