Here's Why a Little "Om" in the Classroom Could Go a Long Way

If your kids are struggling to keep their heads out of the clouds during their afternoon Spanish class, adding a little bit of meditation to their routine could be the key to nipping that afternoon slump in the bud.

And if your child struggles with any attention problems like ADD or ADHD, there was an even larger improvement according to a study by the Proceedings of National Academies of Science of the United States of America (PNAS). It found that people who started meditating on a regular basis had a longer attention span, even if they were in the middle of mundane task, compared to before.
