Kaiser Greenland has played an important role in helping integrate Mindfulness techniques in American schools as well as throughout the world.〔http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-kaiser-greenland〕 She co-founded The InnerKids Foundation, a not-for-profit organization founded in 2001, which taught Mindful Awareness in schools and community-based programs in the greater Los Angeles area until 2009. Her innovative work with children courted the attention of psychologists at UCLA studying the effects of meditation on children. She is also the author of the book ''The Mindful Child'' published by Free Press in May, 2010. == Biography == Susan Kaiser Greenland was born in Paw Paw, Michigan in 1956. She attended Paw Paw High School and Kalamazoo College and then graduated cum laude from Brooklyn Law School. She started her career as a corporate lawyer in New York City, but in 1993 a family crisis occurred which prompted her to seek alternative methods of reducing stress. As a result, she began studying classical mindful awareness and in 2000 adapted these adult practices into a program appropriate for young children. In 2001, she created the Inner Kids program, a hybrid of classical mindful awareness practices incorporating meditative techniques, games, and lessons taught in a non-religious form. The success of the program's use in several schools encouraged Kaiser Greenland to continue teaching the program to children, teens, and adults throughout the world. Kaiser Greenland lives in Los Angeles with her husband Seth Greenland and their two children. She also serves on the Garrison Institute for Contemplation and Education Leadership Council, as an advisor at the UCLA Family Commons〔http://www.uclacommons.com/about-us/our-team〕 and frequently contributes to the online news periodical, The Huffington Post.〔http://www.huffingtonpost.com/susan-kaiser-greenland〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Susan Kaiser Greenland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
