Description
Simple mindfulness practices to help your child (ages 5-12) deal with anxiety,
improve concentration, and handle difficult emotions—with a 60-minute audio CD
of guided exercises Mindfulness—the quality of attention that combines full
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
down, become more focused, fall asleep more easily, alleviate worry, manage
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-
Zinn, popularized mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) as a therapeutic
approach. Continue your mindfulness practice with Eline Snel through her other
mindfulness meditation titles, including Sitting Still Like a Frog Activity
Book, which offers 75 fun mindfulness games and activities for children, and
The Little Frog Awakes, which offers tools and advice for mindfully responding
to younger children ages 18 months to 4 years. Read more
