About the Book:
Mindfulness for Kids offers fun activities for kids ages 6-12 to stay cool, happy, and present with mindfulness.
Homework horrors, chores, and not-so-friendly friends—that’s enough to make any kid’s brain hurt. The secret to staying cool is easy: it’s called mindfulness—and this book gives kids fun activities to practice it on their own.
Mindfulness for Kids applies mindfulness exercises to stories and real-life scenarios that kids go through at home, school, and with friends. Shared through the voices of five children: Jasmine, Willow, Kayli, Colby, and Zeke, Mindfulness for Kids is an engaging, kid-friendly guide for handling tough situations and powerful emotions mindfully.
From using belly breathing to help with panic before a presentation to actively listening to siblings, Mindfulness for Kids addresses the everyday challenges that kids face with:
Mindfulness 101 that teaches kids what mindfulness is, and how they can be mindful of their emotions and senses. Relatable, real-life scenarios that kids encounter at home, school, and with friends. 30 Fun exercises that show kids how tricks like a gratitude list, “counting to calm”, and even yoga poses can help them relax and feel better from not-so-nice feelings. Mindfulness is a kind of superpower we all have but don’t know how to use. In this book, kids will learn how to use this power to feel good about themselves and the world around them through activities and stories told by kids, for kids.
My Review:
If you have been a parent for even a minute you start to see the jealousy come out in your child like a massive tidal wave. Some of us rarely see but in the case of my children it never ends. I have four kiddos and it is a constant battle to get them to get along. You have all these different personalities living under one roof so I can understand why it would get out of hand. And out of hand it does and it escalates pretty quickly.
The authors of Mindfulness for Kids, know exactly where I'm coming from and together they have created this book in a way to help. They offer several different situations and scenarios to help moms like me to make it through the day without losing my mind.
Geared towards children that are ages 6-10. Each section is divided by emotions that are evoked during the crazy and helpful subtle advice is given along with different scenarios and situations.
A very helpful read!
