Fun, engaging, hands-on activities to help kids ages 5-9 be kind to
themselves and others, and build the emotional strength and resilience
needed to thrive!
Children today face many challenges; and if you are a parent, teacher,
or a professional working with kids, you may be seeking answers on how
to help children thrive in a world filled with uncertainty, adversity,
and the detrimental effects of social media and screen time overload.
There are tools you can use to help kids build confidence and
resilience, and cope effectively with difficult situations. This
workbook is packed with a variety of hands-on practices to help children
thrive--with kindness toward themselves and others.
In this fun and engaging workbook, the cofounder of the Mindful
Self-Compassion for Teens (MSC-T) program offers essential
self-compassion and mindfulness skills to help kids build emotional
strength and resilience. Kids will find simple, age-appropriate
practices based in loving-kindness and gratitude to self-soothe, reduce
stress, and respond to their own emotional needs. They'll also learn to
make kindness their "superpower," quiet their inner bully, and protect
and befriend themselves.
Activities in the book are designed to facilitate experiential learning,
and include:
- Mindfulness meditations
- Reflective journaling
- Hands-on mindful movement activities
- Arts and crafts activities
Self-compassion and emotional resilience are cornerstones of mental
health, and research shows that teaching these skills to children when
they are young can have lasting, positive effects--well into adulthood.
With this workbook as a guide, kids will learn to be a better friend to
themselves and others, and thrive in a stress-filled world.
