Kids don't have an on/off switch...
When kids need to calm down, focus and be still, many struggle to modulate their attention, emotions, and behaviors, which can be overwhelming and exhausting in school, at home and in your sessions.
Over time, this trend wears down teachers, parents and clinicians while fueling stress, frustration, conflict and disappointment for children and caregivers alike.
Break the vicious cycle with activity-based mindfulness! Join internationally known mindfulness expert and author, Susan Kaiser Greenland, for this intensive certificate course on mindfulness practices for kids.

Join Susan Kaiser Greenland, JD, for nine, step-by-step modules where you'll discover empirically tested mindfulness activities you can implement immediately to help your young clients or students develop stronger attention, greater emotional intelligence, enhanced self-regulation skills, and strengthened compassion for themselves and others.
Most people are drawn to mindfulness because they want to fix something (whether it be with themselves or someone else, like parents with their children). In this module, you'll gain essential foundational insight about mindfulness. You will learn the five methods of mindfulness practice, and a formula for mindfulness success — play, practice, share and apply.
Key topics covered in this module include:
- Mindfulness defined
- How to use "anchors" in mindfulness
- Exploration of the Inner Kids Model
In module two, you'll learn games that can help your young clients improve their focus, and strengthen their ability to quiet themselves, through various methods and themes.
Susan provides essential insight into:
- Mindfulness category 1 of 3: attention
- Developing restraint and releasing nervous energy
- The window of tolerance for nervous system stimulation
- Techniques for when a child is disruptive during a mindfulness game
Module three brings light to the second category of mindfulness — balance. Through balance, kids can become more aware of what they are feeling and be okay with these feelings rather than trying to change or judge them. Building off balance, you will master games that can attune your client's ability to focus.
You'll learn:
- The spotlight of the attention approach to mindfulness
- How to start a therapy session with concentration
- Strategies to help kids ignore distractions

Key areas of focus in this module include:
- Engaging in analytical thinking

The third and final category in mindfulness is compassion, and module six focuses on the foundation and tools to effectively grow abilities for attuning, caring and connecting with the self and others.
After introducing compassion you'll expand to cover:
- Strategies to focus on the present moment
- Tips and tools for kids that are bullied
Mindfulness activities work best when children are open to participating, this module will give you effective strategies to help kids become more open-minded and willing to partake in activities.
You'll learn to:
- Handle resistance from children with any of these games
- Enhance ability to visualize using mindfulness
In this final module, you'll tie everything covered in the previous modules together, with a key focus on logistics and individualizing the tools, techniques games for your environment.

She played a foundational role in making mindfulness practices developmentally appropriate for young people and helped to pioneer activity-based mindfulness with her first book The Mindful Child. Her second book Mindful Games, offers simple explanations of complex concepts, methods, and themes while expanding upon her work developing activity-based mindfulness games.
Susan worked as a corporate lawyer from 1988 to 2005. During that time, she developed the Inner Kids model while volunteering in public schools teaching secular mindfulness.
