Through mindfulness programs an impressive number of people have improved their well-being and learnt to take shelter from stress, stabilizing mind and heart through a particular attitude towards life: an accepting and grateful openness to the present moment (Kabat Zinn, 1994). The article presents scientidic literature about mindfulness interventions for children. Practices and exercises, suitably adapted for different ages, may help children to reduce anxiety and stress, to improve attention and to enhance quality of social interactions.
