A concept is the basic unit of all types of learning. Young children generally form concepts through the use of senses. Number concept is defined by McIntosh et al. (1992), as a person's general understanding of numbers and operations. Research studies suggest that children construct basic number and arithmetic concepts gradually from experiences that involve numbers and difficulties in counting might hinder in mathematical progress (Baroody and Coslick, 1998). Therefore, attention should be given to assess and understand the number concepts formed during preschool age. Music is considered to play an important role in stimulating young children in learning. Hetland (2000) described that using songs and different music components can help in teaching numbers because of the high association between music and spatial-temporal reasoning skills. The study was carried out on twenty four numbers of pre-school children belonging to the age of 3-4 years, selected through purposive sampling method. Pre and postintervention design was used to assess the influence of musical activities on the development of number concepts in children. The number concepts were assessed in the categories of Number sense, Number representation and Number relation based on the principles of counting proposed by Gelman and Galistell (1978). It was found from the study that most children could name numbers but the concept of cardinality was not attained by many of the children. Findings revealed that children improved in all the areas of number concepts after the musical intervention. However, it was also observed that all the concepts are not mastered at the same time by all the children.
Mindfulness is a buzzword at present times. It is a psychological process of bringing one's attention to situations occurring in the present. In simple terms, mindfulness is living at the present moment and paying attention to each and every situations of life.

Mindfulness causes certain brain changes in the structure and function of the brain. Certain parts of the brain such as the pre-frontal cortex, the hippocampus, and the anterior cortex increases in size and the amygdala tends to shrink which reduces stress and pain. Mindfulness can bring improvements in both physical and psychological symptoms as well as positive changes in health, attitudes and behavior. Studies show that practicing mindfulness can help us manage mild depression, anxiety and other common health problems. In this highly competitive and busy world, mindfulness has been found fruitful, for all individuals for maintaining a healthy way of life. Mindfulness is now being examined in a scientific manner and is found as a key element in stress reduction, overall happiness and well-being. It is helpful for every age group. It can be practiced by children, adolescents, adults and also during old age. Meditation is one of the key techniques used in mindfulness training. Besides meditation, simple mindful practices in everyday life can result in sustainable high performance in individuals. Mindfulness can help us enjoy life more and understand ourselves in a healthy manner. So, every individual should practice mindfulness in their everyday life so as to maintain a healthy way of living and improve their quality of life.
