Surfing the Waves of the School Year: Helping Kids Manage Change and Challenges

Posted by Amanda Good

One of my favorite quotes is by mindfulness expert and author Jon Kabat-Zinn: “You cannot stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” This simple quote is a reminder to me that change and challenges are inevitable, yet we have control and choice in how we respond to them.
