guide the children to understand and accept themselves; to be who they are;

recognize and embrace their emotions; generate happiness and joy in daily

activities such as eating, walking, being with themselves instead of drown in

computer games and electronic devices. Practice of mindfulness can increase the

quality of learning. Children program brings together the children in order to have

a atmosphere of belonging, trust and connection among them, they can experience

being in an environment of compassion and joy that schools may not always
