Paws.b is a great curricula to use with children aged 7-11 years which will support children with learning about;

• Specific areas of the brain and how these affect our ability to focus, make good choices, recognise  when we need to steady ourselves when our body or mind is busy or out of balance.
• Ways that mindfulness can support them in many day-to-day activities, including concentration and memory, behavioural self management, and in relationships with family and friends.
• Ways to respond rather than react – and therefore make better choices and take best care of ourselves.
