A Quiet Moment

“My students beg for it. They have been far more able to deal with all emotions and to better manage stress and anxiety after practicing a quiet moment. I think every classroom would benefit from it.”

A Quiet Moment connects the school, student, and parent while sending a message to the student that their family values are an essential component of their general education.

Schools have reported that children who participate in A Quiet Moment display improved grades and behavior. It has decreased anxiety, bullying, and depression, all of which are contributing factors to substance abuse.

Implement A Quiet Moment into your children’s day and advocate for your children’s school to do so too.

How?
