Students who engage in mindfulness at school demonstrate improvements in focus, maintaining attention, regulating emotions, and have more favourable social interactions (Felver et al., 2016). Additionally, mindfulness education is linked to an increase in optimism, social competence and self-concept for students (Schonert-Reichl &amp; Lawlor, 2010). Teachers report that integrating these practices is both easy and beneficial (Schonert-Reichl &amp; Lawlor, 2010).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='card'><div class='card-header' role='tab' id='References-0'><a data-toggle='collapse' data-parent='#accordion0' href='#collapseOneReferences-0' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='collapseOneReferences-0'><h3 class='mb-0'><em class='fas fa-angle-down rotate-icon'><\/em> References<\/h3><\/a><\/div><div id='collapseOneReferences-0' class='collapse' role='tabpanel' aria-labelledby='collapseOneReferences-0' data-parent='#accordion0'><div class='card-body'><p>Felver, J.
