La pratica della consapevolezza: a scuola di mindfulness

The mindfulness practice in recent years showed to make numerous beneficial effects in adult people. In actual times, It also begins to study it, although with no little difficulty, as a valuable aid in the development of children. Starting with a definition of mindfulness and a description of the main research in education and for adult population, and more recently, for children in pre-school age, the aim of this study was to show, through a comparison, the remarkable similarity between Montessori's method and mindfulness practice. Some aspects, such as the growing attention and to preferring experiences of sensorimotor integration, seem in fact to make the Montessori method as a system that naturally incorporates practices of awareness particularly suitable for younger children. And this thanks to a vision of what might be called a holistic education that deals with the development of the "whole" small people being addressed.
