GET IT
10/10 recommend! We homeschool our 12 year old due to getting severe migraines. We got this to better help her identify triggers to help her stay calm and prevent overstimulation. It has been great for my 6 year old child too.

Useful techniques for self regulation
My 8 year old is really enjoying the activities; the book is engaging, easy to understand, and has simple yet effective mindfulness exercises. My kid and I have been working through the book together, it’s been a bonding opportunity too.

Good workbook
I think it’s a little advanced for my 7 year old, but I will hold on to it for when he’s older. Has good strategies.

Great resource for our homeschool
We use this book as our ritual to start our homeschool day. It has amazing tools for kids, and the content is repetitive enough for them to remember to use when is needed. We usually use a lot a page that show the emotions and work to be aware that we are in control and we can understand and then transform our mood if we want to. Great resource.

Couldn’t say enough good things about this book!
This is recommended for kids at least 8 years old but my 7 year old is grasping and loving this one SO much! We home school so each week we dive into a chapter and then spend the week applying what we learn for practice. My daughter has taken an interest in my yoga and meditation practice since she was little, so mindfulness is something we practice regularly anyways, but having information in the form of a book has been very helpful for her.She’s a highly sensitive kid and when she feels joy, she REALLY feels it. When she’s upset, she feels that just as deep. I was (and am) the same way, so practicing mindfulness and allowing our feelings without judgment, recognizing physically/mentally/emotionally what we are experiencing, and having tools to soothe ourselves through a deep-feeling human experience are life changing skills to have.Since we started this book, she has been very interested in tuning into her self and the world around her on a conscious level.I would recommend this book to everyone and their children! Super great info delivered in a fun way!

Great for older kids / those reluctant to use
My son started using at 9yrs old. I left in his room and he found it one day. Said he enjoyed it. Stemming from a medical condition, Kid is prone to pessimism and anxiety, easy to anger, and we have tried many different ways of intervention over the years. He is occasionally open to this as a tool to reframe, and that’s a big success for us!
