**Parenting toddlers can be challenging but mindfulness can help! The
popular author of Sitting Still Like a Frog offers advice and tools
for parents of kids ages 18 months-4 years to respond skillfully and
with mindful intention, especially in difficult moments.

In The Little Frog Awakes, Eline Snel offers parents of young
children advice and tools for responding mindfully and effectively in
the moment. These skills help us regain trust in ourselves and in the
integral wholeness of our kids. And when we make mindfulness practice a
part of daily life, it gives our children a powerful message on how to
recognize, name, and deal with emotions and situations.
This practical guide will help you to:
- connect with and respond mindfully to your own feelings as they
arise
- cultivate compassion for yourself as a parent or caregiver through
meditations and breathing practices
- encourage serenity, self-confidence, and emotional regulation in
your children, through stories and activities
- strengthen your bond with your kids and help all of you manage
stress
- be more fully present with your children, and more able to give
them your undivided attention
- embrace imperfection and focus on the things that really matter
- and more
The book and the accompanying audio include activities, practices, and
stories for both you and for your toddler that cultivate mindful moments
and action, and self-compassion.
