“From chapter 3, Attention Starts with the Breath (page 25):
Practicing mindful attention takes effort. It is never easy to break with habits and patterns. The same is true for our mind. By tuning in to their breath, kids learn just how easily they are distracted by thoughts, fantasies, and plans for tomorrow that pop into their heads.”

“In adults, mindfulness training has been shown to positively influence important regions of the brain having to do with executive functioning, including impulse control and decision making, perspective taking, learning and memory, emotion regulation, and a sense of connectedness with one’s own body. Under intense and unremitting stress, all these brain functions rapidly degrade.”

“Given the stress that young people are under in our society, mindfulness training is not an optional add-on to improve the learning environment or promote relaxation.

“From chapter 3, Attention Starts with the Breath (page 19):
Your breath can tell you a lot of things. It can tell you whether you are tense, calm, or restless; whether you are holding your breath or letting it flow freely.
As soon as you start observing the movement of your breath, you become more aware of your inner world, more alert to the here and now. It is also a first step toward developing concentration.”
