Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Didem on October 27, 2018

Okuması çok kolay bir kitap. Kesinlikle farklı bir bakış açısı sağlıyor. Kitapta verilen örnekler çok güzel ama her çocukta aynı başarının sağlanacağını beklememek lazım. Yine de bir kere deneyeceğim. Bu arada kitabın arkasında CD var, çocuklarla birlikte meditasyon yapmak için kullanılıyor.......more
