I saw this article today about classroom teachers using mindfulness to help them with the stress in the classroom, but that asking and instructing students on how to be mindful doesn't always work for students who have experienced trauma. These students have trust issues, and asking them to step outside their comfort zone can cause a trauma response. It's very interesting, and I thought it would make a good contribution to this discussion. This explains how to reach some troubled kids and why it matters.
