MINDFULNESS FOR KIDS

By Carole P. Roman and J. Robin Albertson-Wren. Help children harness the power of mindfulness through these 15 different stories with corresponding exercises. The activities are designed to imbue positive changes in students’ abilities to pay attention, remember and recall information, self-regulate their behavior, feel more confident, and act with kindness and compassion toward their peers. The techniques are shared through the voices of five children who show up repeatedly to share their own mindfulness exercises as strategies to use in a variety of difficult situations. The book is divided into three sections: "How to Be a Mindful You at Home," "How to Be a Mindful You at School," and "How to Be a Mindful You with Friends." Grades 1–5. Suggested readings. Illustrated. Althea. 76 pages. ©2018.
