Praise for this book
This book is the BEST tool I have found to work with young children to even teens. I have purchased many books as a therapist but this one travels with me to work. Easy, fun, productive things you will use. I love the breathing section. Getting people to breath is impossible but now my kids have a visual image of something happy and soothing, COOKIES, that gets them to breath even on their own! Buy it, you will use it.
I’m a child and adolescent therapist in private practice and just ordered this book a few days ago to gain ideas for use in individual and group sessions with kids. I feel like I won the lottery with this resource - fun, easy to implement activities with simple, clear instructions - I can’t wait to try these ideas with my clients!
This is a wonderful resource packed with great ideas for helping children learn mindfulness strategies. Kids will easily engage because the activities are playful. A highly recommended resource!
