A Note from the Author:
May this book bring you peacefulness in this often fast-paced and stressful world. Sharing the practice of mindfulness with your child is a gift that can help nourish the body, mind, and spirit for a lifetime. - Dr. Nicola Kluge
Editorial Reviews:
This is a GREAT book for walking a child through a mindfulness exercise. I use it in my therapy practice with kids around the age of 8-10 and they really love it! They are able to acquire a place of calm during the practice and they all report how much they enjoyed the exercise afterward. These children always leave the session calm and relaxed and having a clear picture of what mindfulness exercise entails. - Amazon Reviewer Strstoutmom.
My 8 year old daughter loves for me to read the meditation stories to her before bed. The stories send uplifting messages to young kids...and it helps settle me for sleep too! - Amazon Reviewer CW.
I'm a teacher and I've used this book with my 3rd graders to teach them mindfulness and they love it! They always cheer when we do Mindfulness Monday or any day we do the mindfulness exercises. They have wonderful pre-lesson activities that include questions and some hands on activities as well. I've usually done the questions because it builds up nicely to the mindfulness practice it's connected to, but I haven't done as many of the hands on activities. I think this is a wonderful book to expose kids to mindfulness and a great teaching tool! - Amazon Reviewer Audra Hackett
