Mindfulness Workbook for Kids: 60+ Activities to Focus, Stay Calm, and Make Good Choices

My daughter is Homeschooling 3children during COVID. Started in virtual school which included an encore class called counseling. I, the grandmother , had worked as a school counselor and thought the counseling class was totally lame daughter and children hated it. When she switched from virtual to homeschooling she asked me to do a counseling class. I ordered this book as a reference. Yeah it is wonderful. I am using it directly with the children. They read one or two pages and do the included exercise. They are building a toolbox of coping skills that all children need to develop. They are 7,9, and 11 and are enthusiastic and motivated. I cannot recommend this learning tool more highly!

When this book arrived, I started reading through the different exercises and my first thoughts were that I could have used this when the lockdown started.It starts out slowly, building up the person's (this can also be used for adults in my opinion, not just children as depicted on the cover) sense of being.Then it takes one to preparing for the day ahead. This truly is needed now in the era of not knowing what will happen in the day ahead.It continues on with chapters focused on one aspect at a time.The book says the intended age range is 8-12. I think it can go younger as well as older. Another thing I like about this is the fact that some of the exercises can be done with one's family if wanted.

I am a mental health counselor, and I really like using this book with kiddos!

Thank you! This has been so helpful! It is easy to use and we love that it does not take a lot of time to do each activity but it is packed with useful information that is simple to understand. Great conversation starters and introduction to mindfulness. My kids love it and have been able to apply what they have learned with success!

Absolutely loved the book got one for extended family members and we are all enjoying it. I figured buting a book like this geared towards kids might make it easier to follow through with and give a feeling that’s not of overwhelm. It worked. Love the book. We are all working on it and discuss it every other week.
