What:
Mindfulness involves the practice of purposeful and immediate attention to feelings and behaviors in our personal and social lives. This means becoming aware of how present-moment experiences influence us. When we are mindfully healthy we demonstrate our ability to find balance in life by appropriately engaging within our current situation and environment, finding joy and contentment in the process and in the moment. Mindfulness practice encourages gifted and talented youth to use emotional intelligence skills more effectively as they face complex issues and conflicts in their lives. They learn to respond in thoughtful, heartfelt, kind and grateful ways to others. Healthy emotional development relates to children's heightened success in school, as well as to their improved relationships with friends and family. When:
