Summary:
Playing
games
is a great way for kids to develop their focusing and attention skills and to become more
mindful
. Susan Kaiser Greenland has had a lot of success bringing
mindfulness
to the classroom, and in this book she shares her experience, showing how parents, caregivers, and teachers can cultivate these qualities at home or in a school setting. She includes fifty
mindfulness
games
that develop what Greenland calls the "new A, B, C's" for learning and for a happy and successful life: Attention, Balance, and Compassion. In a playful way, the
games
introduce kids to breathing practices and techniques for developing focus, concentration, and sensory awareness, and identifying and self-regulating emotions, among others skills. They include "anchor"
games
that develop concentration; visualization
games
that encourage kindness and focus; analytical
games
that cultivate clear thinking; and awareness
games
that develop all of these qualities and give greater insight into ourselves, others, and relationships. Greenland contextualizes each game and offers guidance for the parents/caregivers throughout. Even though the
games
are written for kids, they can be just as fun and transformative for adults. Greenland encourages parents and caregivers to develop their own attention, balance, and compassion and explore the universal concepts that she presents. She points out that as caregivers, our own
mindfulness
has a powerful effect on everyone in our lives, especially our
children
. They notice when we're calmer, more composed, and more joyful, and learn by our example.
