Robert W. Coleman Elementary, a primary school in the US. has an unusual method of educating difficult students. Instead of making hose who have broken school rules stay after school or go to the head teacher's office, teachers at Robert W. Coleman Elementary send them to the Mindful Moment Room. This room may sound terrible, but in fact it's comfortable and inviting.
In the Mindful Moment Room, a student is paired with a teacher. For five minutes, the student is allowed to speak with the teacher about what happened. For another fifteen minutes, the student is led through meditation(冥想). The room can be used during school time as well as before and after school.
You may not think a difficult primary school kid would sit there quietly for 15 minutes of meditation but that's true. Most of the children do behave very well in the room. Surprisingly, the results don't stop there. Many children even ask to go to the Mindful Moment Room themselves.
The Mindful Moment Program was created by the Holistic Life Foundation (HLF). Its purpose is to help students and teachers reduce stress and create a better learning environment for students. If you need more proof(证据) that the program is having a good influence on the kids, HLF cofounder Andres Gonzalez remembers a story.
A mother once told him," I came home the other day, feeling stressed out, and my daughter said, "Mom, you need to sit down. I will teach you how to meditate’”
