LOVE IT! My daughter is only seven but can be an anxious perfectionist, and has happily delved in with me. It's a book that will be a helpful addition to our parenting stack for many years.. it's benefitting the whole family to work through this together, so we are exceptionally grateful for the opportunity to "test and review" via NetGalley. won't be deleting this from my Kindle, as it will see use for quite a while around here. I look forward to dropping a copy off with my daughter's counselor, who works with lots of children with anxiety issues, and I would love to see this book in schools, especially schools where stuff like this isn't always taught or thought about, with a teachers' guide. I think now more than ever it's important to make sure ALL children have access to practices like this.

While I won't be purchasing this book for our high school library, I will absolutely be purchasing it for my personal daughter. I would definitely recommend it for elementary libraries, but I think it is written to low for high school students.

I have been a student of mindfulness, meditation, and yoga for many years now and was fascinated by this book. I read it cover to cover and found some new breathing techniques to try for myself. I was unfamiliar with the breath the author shared for anger and found it works beautifully. We have several grandchildren who will soon be in pre-adolescent stages and I am going to be sure that this book gets in their hands very very soon. Powerful, positive suggestions, ideas and techniques for managing difficult emotions, handling awkward situations, and destressing one's life.

This book was perfect introduction to mindfulness and meditation for pre-teens and teens. I enjoyed reading it and could see myself giving it as a gift to young people in my life.

A meditation teacher of mine sometimes illustrates ideas by giving an “adult” explanation of a technique then a “kids” version. Inevitably, the “kids” version is more accessible to all ages and, often easier to remember and understand as well as being quicker to perform. Remembering this, I requested this volume to enhance my practice. It is a wonder!! The excercises are well explain bed, clever, and easy to remember. A fabulous meditation book for readers of all ages.
