''The world would be cleaner and there would be less shooting if all schools had mindfulness. Mindfulness helps when I'm mad at my brother-in-law who makes my sister sad or accidentally makes my niece sick, so I breathe and I talk about it. I calm my mom down and it helps me go to sleep at night. I love mindfulness.''

''I like mindfulness because it helps me feel better and teaches me to concentrate.''

''It helps me in school when I am trying to do work. It helps me not get my name on the board.''

''It really works - a lot of people should try it.''

''When I am mad or sad I practice mindfulness. First you have to close your eyes. Then you breathe out and in.''

''When my sister gets on my nerves I tell her to leave me alone so I can take a deep breath. I always use the technique whenever I am mad.''

''I think if everybody knew how to do mindfulness there wouldn't be that much killing and fighting over little things. Mindfulness is very good for kids and adults.''

''It makes me happy and great. It's calming and peaceful. It makes me grateful and light.''
