The techniques of mindful awareness have helped millions of adults reduce stress in their lives. Now, children - who are under more pressure than ever before - can learn to protect themselves with these well-established methods adapted for their ages. Based on a program affiliated with UCLA, The Mindful Child is a groundbreaking book, the first to show parents how to teach these transformative practices to their children.
Mindful awareness works by enabling you to pay closer attention to what is happening within you - your thoughts, feelings, and emotions - so you can better understand what is happening to you. The Mindful Child extends the vast benefits of mindfulness training to children from four to 18 years old with age-appropriate exercises, songs, games, and fables that Susan Kaiser Greenland has developed over more than a decade of teaching mindful awareness to kids. These fun and friendly techniques build kids' inner and outer awareness and attention, which positively affects their academic performance as well as their social and emotional skills.

Critic reviews
What did you like best about The Mindful Child? What did you like least?
I turned it off after about 15 minutes so I can't answer this question. The narration was too distracting and irritating for me to continue.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Find a better narrator.How did the narrator detract from the book?
She over-enunciates every word so that she sounds robotic and it is extremely irritating. It would be fantastic for someone trying to learn English as a second language, though.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
I can't say. I am interested enough in the book to buy it and read it myself. I'm very disappointed that I can't listen to it, since I've already paid for it.Awful Narration

Would you listen to The Mindful Child again? Why?
Yes, I highly recommend this book! The Mindful Child is a wonderful book, loaded with practical information. Listening to the book alone sent me into information overload. I recommend having a hard copy of this title to reference back to and use the games and mindful scripts for later references.What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Mindful Child?
Big take aways for me include:*(pg 147) Teaching mindfulness is not the “see one, do one, teach one” model typically embraced in education. Rather, mindfulness requires that we practice it, live it, be it, and practice it some more before we offer it to others.
*Ways to introduce and apply the Still Quiet Place- I’m excited to dive in and explore guided meditations that can calm busy minds in a variety of lengths of time (5-30 min)
*Mindful Eating
*I really like this thought: Body like a mountain; breath like the wind; and mind like the sky (pg. 84)- to be applied possibly after Savasana or maybe even the start of a class to bring awareness and use it to then set an intention of openness.
*The act of building awareness and questions that can be asked to gage where students are. (pg. 145)
*Awareness of thoughts, emotions and how we react to them (while listening to “Watching the Wheels” - pg. 157). What people feel and how they express it is personal and should not be discounted. Where are you on the merry go round? High? Low? Can you let it go?
Any additional comments?
I found myself reading this book while wearing two hats. One as an educator who looks to use yoga and mindfulness in the classroom (camps, afterschool programs, etc.) and the other as a mom. When SKG used examples of mindfulness with many of the topics she often used family interactions to make her point. I was very struck by this and have already started to implement some of her strategies with my son and even my husband.So much great info!
