There is an initial research base, with a limited number of studies showing that as a cognitive—behavioral intervention for vulnerable students, “Quiet Time” improves the physical, social, emotional, psychological, and cognitive functioning and has the potential to enhance psychosocial strengths and coping abilities.

What is Focused Quiet Time?
![Page 14: Focused "Quiet Time" for Schools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559cb6c01a28ab01418b45f5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
TWO PATHS: Mindfulness or Relaxation

Mindfulness is a particular way of paying attention. It is the mental faculty of purposefully bringing awareness to one’s experience. Mindfulness can be applied to
sensory experience, thoughts, and emotions by using sustained attention and noticing our
experience without reacting.http://www.mindfulschools.org/about-‐mindfulness/mindfulness/

"The relaxation response is a physical state of deep rest that
changes the physical and emotional responses to stress... and the opposite of the fight or flight
response."

Typically involves the use of secular techniques that are not used within
a spiritual or religious context.

Involves bodily movement and concentration on the breath.
Typically takes place in a quiet location and requires an
open, nonjudgmental attitude.

CONCLUSIONS
![Page 21: Focused "Quiet Time" for Schools](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559cb6c01a28ab01418b45f5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Preliminary research with adolescents suggests that “quiet time”, as a cognitive-behavioral
intervention, has positive implications for the functioning of
students.Barnes et al., 2001, 2003; Barnes, Davis, et al., 2004; Barnes, Treiber, & Johnson, 2004; Beauchemin et al, 2008; Benson et al., 1994; Rosaen & Benn, 2006; So, & Orme-‐Johnson, 2001; Wisner, 2008

Students experiencing high levels of stressful life circumstances, physical or emotional health
concerns, learning problems that involve difficulty paying attention
or concentrating, or low self-esteem may be particularly helped by this
type of intervention.
