In today’s episode of The Balanced Educator Podcast, we’re bringing back Janelle Laflèche, an inspiring Grade 2 teacher from a French school who has been integrating Educalm into her classroom since 2017.

Janelle shares how easy it was to implement mindfulness in her classroom, thanks to the simple, audio-guided practices in the Educalm subscription. With just the press of a button, mindfulness became a regular, impactful part of her students' day.

She opens up about her biggest challenge—how to begin the practice—and how Educalm answered all her questions. Janelle also talks about her students’ amazing reactions to mindfulness and how they now use breathing techniques instead of reacting when conflicts arise, like at recess!

One of the most heartwarming parts of the episode is how her classroom has developed a shared language around emotions, which has created a strong sense of understanding and connection among her students.

If you're curious about Educalm and want to learn how to introduce mindfulness in your own classroom, this episode is for you!
