I was delighted to be joined for this Mindful Monday by Mike Wilson, podcast host of “Making After School Cool” with the Harris County Department of Education in Houston, Texas. I loved his story of two dogs and what we could learn from observing them and their relationship with their owners. The purpose of Mindful Mondays is to provide a model for adults – educators and parents – of a brief gathering they can hold with their own families to help transition between family life and the school day. How can we prepare our bodies, minds and hearts for the learning ahead? Check out this week’s Mindful Monday!
