Feeling mindful is feeling good! You know when you’re having a bad day, you have that wobbly feeling inside and nothing seems to go right? Find a quiet place, sit down, and meditate! In this daily companion, kids of any age will learn simple exercises to help manage stress and emotions, find focus, and face challenges. They’ll discover how to feel safe when scared, relax when anxious, spread kindness, and calm anger when frustrated. Simple, secular, and mainstream, this mindfulness book is an excellent tool for helping kids deal with the stresses of everyday life.

For More Information

Meditation is an Open Sky is an excellent book to use to share with children how they can openly express their feelings.  I have been taking a conscious discipline training class and this just so goes along with it.  I'm going to use this book as a resource tool in my classroom.   Each page is packed with good tools to use with children teaching them how to handle their feelings and emotions.  Excellent.
