As a trainer, do you want to gain new inspiration and deepen your own skills? The Watch Moment gives you the unique opportunity to watch one lesson with an experienced AMT trainer, directly in practice.
You can choose from two inspiring settings: a practice setting in Nijmegen with Ellen or a school setting in Amsterdam with Mirjam. Both trainers have years of experience and will show you how they convey mindfulness to children, parents or teachers.
Whether you watch in practice or at school, you will get a realistic picture of how the method is applied. There is plenty of room to ask questions and exchange experiences. Afterwards, you will talk with the trainer to get insights and practical tips for your own work. (Can't do this right after the lesson? Then we simply plan a Zoom session at a later time).
AMT Children's Trainer - Mindful Parenting & teaching trainer
Ellen Budding

My name is Ellen Budding and I live in Nijmegen with my husband and two daughters. From my practice and the Center for Mindful Living I give mindfulness training to children and teenagers. I do this with dedication and a lot of fun.
In 2016 I did the child trainer training with the AMT, in 2018 the youth module and in 2019 the Mindful Parenting & Teaching trainer training.
Since 2017, I have focused entirely on mindfulness after years of working as an outpatient supervisor at Kentalis, following my studies in orthopedagogy at Radboud University.
I am grateful to Eline Snel for bringing the method "Attention Works!" into the world. I myself feel lucky because together with other child trainers, I can contribute to more peace, attention and resilience of children and teenagers.
AMT Child-Youth and Mindful Parenting and Teaching Trainer and Educator
Mirjam Blok

My name is Mirjam Blok and in 2016 I attended the child trainer training at the AMT. Subsequently, I followed the training to become a Mindful Parenting and Teaching trainer. I work as a teacher and attention trainer at the Willibrordschool IJburg. This school has been a Mindful School since 2019. All children receive an 8-week mindfulness training at our school according to the Method Eline Snel. Teachers and parents can also follow an 8-week mIndfulnesstraining. I speak from experience when I see what the children gain from mindfulness training. The children learn skills that help them focus more. They experience peace in their heads, but also become more aware of external and internal stimuli. The children learn to maintain their attention muscle.
Starting in 2021, I joined the AMT as an educator in the children's trainer training program and I enjoy doing that. I hope to get many more people excited to become mindfulness child trainers in education, but also outside of it. I find it special to combine my experiences as a teacher with the experiences I gain as a trainer.
