'There's never been a better time to encourage the little people to
develop their natural abilities to be wise, calm and mind. This
book is full of approachable yet effective ways to makemindfulness
part of family life, whatever that looks like for you.' - Rohan
Gunatillake, Creator of buddhify This inspirational and timely
guide is about how mindfulness helps children, why it's becoming
more popular and how to do it. It combines practical exercises that
children can complete alongside their parents/carers with a fun and
engaging commentary on the theory and science behind the practice.
Uz takes you through the day, from waking, eating, learning and
appreciating to sleeping, including exercises for how to cope with
exams, how to deal with the screen culture and what mindfulness
practises you can do in holiday time. Together, this gives the
reader an enjoyable and accessible path into the practice of
mindfulness for children. Many schools are not able to include
mindfulness in their curricula and educators and parents alike are
eager to have more guidance on how to support children. This
current era of rising levels of child mental health, with the
pressures in schools as well as the increasingly fast-paced,
digitized and image-obsessed world is having a really negative
effect. Mindfulness for Children is a positive and practical tool
that will give children the skills to manage their feelings,
increase their confidence and concentration levels as well as
aiding their transition to secondary school. And it can help
parents and caregivers, too, by promoting happiness and relieving
stress.

From the author of 101 Things for Kids to do Outside, which has
fast become a go-to book for children and parents alike, comes this
excellent new volume full of creative (and occasionally crazy)
ideas for things to do when the weather is bad and you're stuck
inside - without having to go any where near a TV or computer
screen! Why not grow a windowsill herb garden, make your own
jigsaw, or learn to play the glasses? Get crafty with decoupage and
salt dough, or play detective by dusting for fingerprints. Exciting
makes include terrariums and kaleidoscopes, whilst wacky games
cover everything from Balloon Stomp to Sticky Note Scramble. All
101 ideas are designed to be achievable with little or no parental
help, and only use materials that you already have around the
house. With a wealth of creative and fun suggestions to keep you
amused, you might not even notice that the rain has stopped.
It's a wonderful world out there just waiting to be discovered, but
are you ready to be an explorer? Do you know how to cope with
searing heat and intense cold? Can you find food and water in the
wild? Could you avoid deadly diseases and fight back against
man-eating beasts? Let Bear Grylls teach you everything you need to
know to venture through all of Earth's terrain, as well as through
the air, over the seas, and under the waves in Bear Grylls Survival
Camp. The perfect gift for any young adventurers in training.
