review 1: Mindfulness has been shown to have enormous potential in helping children cope with attention difficulties and tough feelings, and this book provides an excellent venue through which families can explore the idea and reap its benefits. The mindfulness exercises in it are easy enough to be accessible to children as young as five but could benefit kids into their middle school years. The book contains exercises for families to try together and explanatory passages that parents will find insightful and intriguing. In addition to the text, the book comes with an audio CD that leads listeners through more activities that promote calm and focus. This book will be a life-saver for many kids and their parents. Those suspicious that the book will smack of crystal healing and strang... moree, new-age ideas will be pleasantly surprised by the book's down-to-earth tone and common sense advice.
