#1623626 Should Schools Start Teaching Meditation to Students?

Posted by ae19 on 01 September 2012 - 12:09 PM

Yes, I'm really glad schools are picking this up. Meditation isn't done for meditation's sake. It's a tool for emotional self-regulation/stress management and promoting greater self-awareness, skills that are important for children to learn if they're going to become productive citizens. Numerous studies have shown that meditation has a whole host of social and health benefits. Spending a few minutes a day on meditation in schools would go a long way to increasing society's mental health.
