First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether an 8-week mindfulness program in preschool classrooms helps children aged 4 to 6 years get ready for school. The program included 24 sessions focused on attention, emotions, and self-awareness. Researchers compared kids who did the program with those who did not, using a school readiness test. The goal was to see if mindfulness can improve focus and self-control in young children.
