Exploring Mindfulness with Kids

Mind Bubbles by Dr. Heather Krantz provides an easy way to introduce children to mindfulness in the classroom or a small groups. Read how Dr. Krantz suggests it be done  /mindfulness-and-self-compassion We use the MindUp curriculum in the classroom at our school so I will be using this book in a small group where I can blow soap bubbles and not have 25 kids get overly excited. The book makes it a SNAP to teach this process and includes a very nice 3 minute meditation to be read aloud by an adult. Parents may want to use this book at home as well so I will include a copy in our Mindfulness Parent Resource Pack that I loan families who want to know more about this topic. The research is showing mindfulness is good for mental health so it is nice to have another resource about it.
