I hope you'll find a place to test it out and see if (a) the usual results of this type of medication apply with your version, and with school children, and (b) if that leads to reduced bullying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07279237563145217579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3207351727628492131.post-30817457327027016992014-06-01T18:28:49.384-04:002014-06-01T18:28:49.384-04:00Dorlee,

Several years ago, I believe both Dan Siegel and a few others had tried to encourage meditation in school for the purpose of focus but I think the need for compassion is even more critical in light of what has been going on in our schools (and society) as a whole. <br /><br />And in fact, when engaging in lovingkindness meditation, everyone would be reaping improvements in both focus and compassion (as well as a host of other areas such as self-regulation, immune system etc.); therefore, it's a win-win from many respects.DorleeMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095854625660993531noreply@blogger.com
