Comments from Teachers and Parents:
– Emily H., 7th Grade Teacher
"As a teacher, I’ve always been looking for ways to help my students focus and manage the stresses of school.
After incorporating the practices from The Nature & Wellness Connection into my classroom, I’ve noticed a remarkable shift. Students are calmer, more engaged, and more present. The breathing exercises and mindful movement routines have become a staple in our daily routine, especially before tests or stressful lessons.
These techniques are making a real difference in their ability to focus, think creatively, and stay balanced throughout the school day."
– Jamie C., 3rd Grade Teacher
"I’ve been amazed at how quickly the students have taken to the techniques. For many of my students, it’s their first introduction to mindfulness practices, and they’ve responded so well to it.
The short breathing exercises we do before lessons help them settle in and prepare for the day ahead. Some of the kids even ask for ‘breathing time’ when they feel anxious or upset.
It’s become a wonderful part of our routine and really supports both their emotional and academic growth."
– Lisa P., Parent of an 8-year-old
"My son used to have a hard time focusing in class. His teacher introduced him to some of the breathing techniques from The Nature & Wellness Connection, and the change has been incredible. He now knows how to take a deep breath and calm himself when he feels anxious or distracted.
These simple but powerful tools have helped him stay more focused during lessons and even in group activities. It’s amazing to see how the program not only supports his learning but also helps him manage his emotions in a healthy way."
