As a teacher, I can tell you that getting them to sit still for mindfulness training the first 2 or 3 lessons is likely the hardest thing you will ever do. No one between the age of 5 and 18 I have ever met can sit in a room full of their peers and be quiet or still for more than 30 seconds when a guided meditation or mindfulness lesson starts up.
For some of them, it seems like the single most uncomfortable thing they have ever experienced.
