Mindfulness

The action of being mindful (wide awakeness) as used by Dewey, as a verb and not a noun; a way of taking action, of attending to the details of our everyday lives and the animate world.

To awaken in children a sense of presentness through the encouragement of questioning, curiousity and wonder.

A disposition which "respects the serious thinking that children do". Herb Kohl
