Mindfulness: full attention in children's education

We live in a society where even the youngest children present many situations of stress, usually provoked by adults, who do not know how to face them. That is why we are interested in investigating the intervention proposals that have been made to work on mindfulness in the classroom for early childhood education. For this purpose, a review of national and international studies in the field of positive psychology has been carried out, which allow to verify the benefits that Mindfulness has on people, specifically, those that demonstrate the usefulness of teaching to practice mindfulness children from early ages. The intervention programs designed, around this construct, contemplate activities in which children are more aware of their own body, their breathing, their emotions, those of their peers, etc .; and, they show that now children, through emotional education, have an effective tool that helps them to face life in a more conscious and full way, which achieve great results for their relationship with themselves and with society. We received funds through a grant to finance the predoctoral recruitment of research staff by the Junta de Castilla y León (EDU/1083/2013), cofinanced by the European Social Fund, within the Operational Program of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) 2014-2020 of Castilla y León
