This indispensable resource provides a flexible framework and a wealth
of engaging tools for teaching mindfulness to children and adolescents
with varying needs in school or clinical settings. Numerous kid-friendly
mindfulness practices are presented, complete with step-by-step
instructions, sample scripts, suggested variations, and discussion
questions. The benefits of mindfulness for enhancing children's
social-emotional competencies are clearly explained. Clinicians and
teachers are guided to select and sequence activities for groups
struggling with specific challenges: stress and anxiety, depression,
attention problems, behavioral and emotion regulation issues, and
trauma. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes 14
reproducible handouts. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they
can download and print the reproducible materials.
