As a classroom teacher, mindfulness practitioner and trainee mindfulness teacher I think this book is a fantastic resource! It helps children to become more mindful; aware of their thinking and actions and teaches them that they have an element of choice in how they respond to their own thoughts, others and the world around them.
Full of top tips to help children feel happy and less stressed, be grateful and kind, develop resilience and feel connected to each other and the world. Children learn that there are some things we can control and others that we can't. They learn tips for living in the present rather than worrying about the past or the future. Crucial learning that I think could help not only the children, but their teachers and parents too!
