Mindful Kids: 40 Fun and Beautiful activities to increase awareness, focus and calm oneself - Focus

Do you want to get your kid to meditate but find it difficult to keep them engaged?
If you have answered yes, then continue reading to know more about the contents of the book.

A recent study by the National Institute of Health suggests that only 1.6% of US children have practiced meditation. They further found that girls are more likely to start practicing meditation at a very young age compared to boys.

The key reasons why your kid should practice meditation are to help them focus, get rid of anxiety, and to get them ready to learn. It is also perfect for bedtime. The other common uses are to help children with ADHD or to try to teach a sense of calm to younger children. However, if your kid is strong-willed like mine, they tend to push back. If anyone had tried to "sell" me the idea of mindfulness when I was a kid, I'd have run a mile as well so it's not surprising that our kids are the same.

The critical aspect of getting your kid engaged to practice meditation is to -

• Firstly lead them by an example and
• Secondly to use bite-sized activities to get them started.

If you already meditate then, that's good that you have taken the first and most important step already. If you do not meditate, then you can practice either with your kids using the exercises in this book or lookup the following book on Amazon.

• "How to Meditate: How I stopped doubting meditation, applied simple steps and discovered a 10 minute routine to a successful life".

In this book, you will discover 40 short yet engaging and fun activities that have a powerful positive impact for children to start practicing meditation. If your kid does not find a practice pleasant enough, don't worry, as the book contains 40 different exercises to try. You can use a combination of them as well.

A research that was done by Frontiers in Psychology on MOM (mindfulness-oriented meditation) showed "how the introduction of mindfulness-meditation practices in educational settings can be useful to improve children's cognitive, emotional, and social abilities. This awareness practice could be regularly used during the school year and, combined with other SEL programs, could become a powerful preventive tool and a mean to improve the academic development of students even in the 1st years of school."

Give your kid a chance to take up the motto 'Be mindful and be successful.'.
