Education: Mindfulness and confidence in the classroom | Annette Du Bois | TEDxNorwichED

Confidence is the key to everything in life. With it ~ children perform better at school; have a balanced view of themselves and the world around them as well as more resilient to overcome challenges and the roller coaster of emotions they experience. Without it ~ disappointment, unhappiness and lost dreams dominant their future. Everything is changing quicker than ever before so growing up just got tougher. We must think differently and adapt our understanding to appreciate the pressures and stresses of modern day living for young people. How can young people manage and control their emotions, thoughts and feelings and channel them into a more resourceful and empowered state? Come and enjoy this journey into how Mindfulness and Confidence creates empowered pupils, creative, engaged and inspired learners and a place where F.E.A.R is left at the classroom door!
