For All Seasons Debuts New Online Series on Mindfulness for Elementary-aged Children
As elementary-aged students enjoy summer camps and local playgrounds, and prepare to head back to school, they often need help managing emotions, navigating challenges, and reducing stressful moments. For All Seasons Center for Learning has created a new online series, guided by beloved educator "Coach Bob" Hyman, whose Turtle mindfulness lessons helped generations of Talbot County students build emotional awareness, self-control, and resilience. Now, his trusted approach is available to children everywhere, helping young learners build their emotional vocabulary, recognize body cues, and practice self-regulation.
"The agency has long been focused on building emotional literacy, resilience, and lifelong mental health, which begins in youth and extends into adulthood. Mindfulness is a skill. The new video series uses illustrated storytelling, playful activities, breathing exercises, and guided relaxation techniques through the 'Turtle' method, helping children who feel overwhelmed use mindful listening, positive self-talk, body awareness, and kindness practices," shares Lauren Weber, Chief Strategy Officer at For All Seasons.
The course is also a helpful resource for educators, youth-serving professionals, coaches, and anyone supporting elementary-aged children.
