Slow down
This is where practising mindfulness helps. Mindfulness means slowing down to notice what you are doing, hearing, touching, and feeling in that moment. It means taking your time to do an activity without rushing or multitasking. It is not an exotic activity. It does not require special practice criteria. It is a simple change in attitude and thought.
Why do we need to slow down?
Practising mindfulness is proven to have several benefits for children, as well as adults. For children especially, mindfulness helps:
*Manage emotions
*Improve focus and concentration
*Improve mood and promotes happiness
*Promote compassion and empathy
*Deal with conflicts like bullying and peer pressure at school
*Reduce stress and anxiety
*Spark creativity and imagination
These techniques and activities will help you practise the art of living in the moment. Browse through the slides to view them.
Find out more about the man who came up with the Theory of Evolution and also solve this Wordoku puzzle.
Charles Robert Darwin was an English geologist, naturalist, and biologist. He is famously known as the ‘Father of Evolution’ as he was the first to propose the theory that all species descended from a common ancestor.
He identified the process that enabled evolution as ‘natural selection’. With limited resources available in nature, organisms with traits favourable for survival and reproduction will tend to leave more offspring than their peers. Thus, these traits will be replicated over generations, becoming a prominent feature in that species.
For example, the ancestors of modern giraffes were animals with much smaller necks, similar to deer. But because their habitat had tall trees, giraffes with slightly longer necks had an advantage. These longer-necked giraffes survived better and reproduced more. Thus, over the years and in subsequent generations, longer necks became more common resulting in the giraffes we know today.
