This inspirational and timely guide is about how mindfulness helps children, why it’s becoming more popular and how to do it. It combines practical exercises that children can complete alongside their parents/carers with a fun and engaging commentary on the theory and science behind the practice. Uz takes you through the day, from waking, eating, learning and appreciating to sleeping, including exercises for how to cope with exams, how to deal with the screen culture and what mindfulness practises you can do in holiday time. Together, this gives the reader an enjoyable and accessible path into the practice of mindfulness for children.
Many schools are not able to include mindfulness in their curricula and educators and parents alike are eager to have more guidance on how to support children. This current era of rising levels of child mental health, with the pressures in schools as well as the increasingly fast-paced, digitized and image-obsessed world is having a really negative effect.
Mindfulness for Children is a positive and practical tool that will give children the skills to manage their feelings, increase their confidence and concentration levels as well as aiding their transition to secondary school. And it can help parents and caregivers, too, by promoting happiness and relieving stress.

5 reviews for Mindfulness for Children: Practising Mindfulness with your Child through the day

  1. Elizabeth A. Nicastro –

    Wonderful book on mindfulness! The writing is very thoughtful and straightforward, the illustrations are beautiful and the suggested practices are simple and practical. It’s broken down into short chapters with effective descriptions, anecdotal stories and meaningful quotes. The layout is just perfect! This book is ideal for parents and teachers who want to help children live a mindful life, but it also offers helpful tips to adults who want to live more mindfully as well.

    My daughter is in her final year at university and feeling stressed out with the final year demands. We live 400 miles apart so to give her some support we each have a copy of this book and go over the chapters together on the phone, discuss the meaning and practice the exercises together, though geographically apart. I think the actual personal interaction plays some part in this but the ideas and exercises are useful and I find the structure of going through it with her decreases her stress. I think this is a good way of getting involved with our children without being seen to be ‘telling them what to do’ – and most parents will know the need to avoid doing that!

    A beautifully written and illustrated intro to mindfulness for children and adults. For the sceptical adult it provides insight on the value of mindfulness and then, when you’re convinced, great techniques. For children it provides lots of simple daily routine ideas of bringing mindfulness into their lives and strategies for difficult moments.

    I recommend this book to my friends, colleagues and the parents and teachers in the schools I work in. Uz has a particularly clear and succinct way of explaining mindfulness to the non-expert and the innovative way she has adapted some of the core practices makes them even more accessible to young people and their families. There is a minefield of misconceptions surrounding mindfulness and this book offers much needed clarity. Thank you Uz!
