More About the Book
Helping children to be more mindful is a powerful gift. By being mindful they will learn to recognize and manage their emotions, be more able to calm down when they are upset, become better at focusing on important tasks, and more able to interact with others with empathy and generosity. These are fundamental skills that children will need throughout their life, but that they often aren't taught explicitly. Think of how often we demand that children "pay attention" or "calm down", without ever having shown them how to do so. Now parents can, with mindfulness expert Sarah Rudell Beach.
In Mindfulness for Children, parents will first learn how to be more mindful themselves before teaching their children basic mindfulness skills. With simple and fun activities for children up to age 11, chapter by chapter children learn to Soothe, Focus, Feel, Pause, Appreciate, and Connect. Each activity includes variations for different age groups, along with "in the moment" how-tos for particularly stressful moments.
Mindfulness doesn't only help children with everyday challenges as they are growing up. Being mindful becomes a way of being that benefits children their whole life, by making them more joyful and resilient.
