review 1: I was in such a panic about my children starting public school. Documentaries and news reports seemed to all be saying that our school system was horrific and that if I didn't get my kids into the right school at kindergarten, that was it, they were doomed for life. I picked up this book and before I even got into the main chapters my attitude was flipped! All those months of fretting, worrying and yes, even crying into the night, evaporated. I came away from this book feeling in control and much more at ease. Studies show that when people are relaxed and happy they retain more information and do better on tests.

review 2: A friend told me to read this and it was great advice! Hawn gives simple, step-by-step instructions on teaching mindfulness and meditative breathing to children. As a family, we have been going over one section per week, and I am already seeing progress. The children are using the terminology and noticing when their "Guard Dogs" come out and trying to use their "Wise Old Owls" to make less impulsive decisions when they are stressed or upset. This book is simple to read, simple to understand and simple to implement. I highly recommend it to anyone hoping to increase the emotional intelligence of their children. less
