101 MINDFUL ARTS-BASED ACTIVITIES TO GET CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS TALKING

By Dawn D’Amico. From creating a tornado in a bottle that sparks a discussion about crisis to using masks to encourage self-expression, these activities focus on helping troubled youths feel relaxed and responsive through mindfulness, art, and play. The simple activities, all of which require minimal preparation and involve readily available everyday objects, are recommended for tactile, visual, or verbal learners and can be used with individuals or groups. Two case studies, one for a child and one for an adolescent, support each activity by demonstrating positive outcomes. Grades K–12. Jessica Kingsley. 223 pages. ©2017.
