awareness with acceptance of each moment, just as it is—is gaining broad
acceptance among mental health professionals as an adjunct to treatment. This
little book is a very appealing introduction to mindfulness meditation for
children and their parents. In a simple and accessible way, it describes what
mindfulness is and how mindfulness-based practices can help children calm

anger, and generally become more patient and aware. The book contains eleven
practices that focus on just these scenarios, along with short examples and
anecdotes throughout. Included with purchase is an audio CD with guided
meditations, voiced by Myla Kabat-Zinn, who along with her husband, Jon Kabat-

approach. Continue your mindfulness practice with Eline Snel through her other
