bestsellers I Am Human and I Am Love!
Mindfulness means being fully in the present moment. Children can learn
how to manage their emotions, make good choices, and balance their busy
lives by learning to be mindful, express emotions through speech, find
empathy through imagination, and wonder at the beauty of the natural
world.
"There are times when I worry about what might happen next and what
happened before. The thoughts in my head are like rushing water, and I
feel like a boat with no anchor . . . being carried away. I give myself
a moment. I take a breath."
Mindfulness encourages us to pay attention to our experiences (our
feelings, sensations in the body, emotions, surroundings) without
judgment but with kindness and curiosity. Scientific research has proven
that there are many benefits to practicing mindfulness. With so many
children suffering from anxiety, there is no better tool than learning
to be mindful. And it's never too early to get started.
Here is a gentle expression of the tenets of mindfulness, encouraging
young children to breathe, taste, smell, and be present in the here and
now. I Am Peace is a reflection of the power of mindfulness in all our
lives. It is a perfect guide with which parents and teachers can help
children pay attention to their feelings and learn to control their
worry and anxiety.
Includes a guided meditation.
