Description

A playful approach to cultivating mindfulness in kids, with sixty simple games to develop attention, focus, and emotional awareness. From the author of The Mindful Child, Susan Kaiser Greenland shares classroom-tested experience and shows how parents, caregivers, and teachers can cultivate these qualities at home or in school. She includes sixty mindfulness games that develop what Greenland calls the "new A, B, C's" for learning and for a happy and successful life: Attention, Balance, and Compassion. The games introduce breathing practices and techniques for developing focus, concentration, sensory awareness, and the identification and self-regulation of emotions. They include anchor games that develop concentration; visualization games that encourage kindness and focus; analytical games that cultivate clear thinking; and awareness games that foster insight into ourselves, others, and relationships. Greenland contextualizes each game and offers guidance for parents and caregivers throughout. Even though the games are written for kids, they can be just as fun and transformative for adults. Greenland encourages caregivers to develop their own attention, balance, and compassion, and to explore the universal concepts she presents. Our mindfulness as caregivers has a powerful effect on everyone in our lives, especially our children; they notice when we're calmer, more composed, and more joyful, and learn by our example.
