I feel like students need more mediation in their lives. I am always trying to find ones that will motivate them to mediate. This was one I would buy for them to try

A really great kids starter book on meditation, what it is, what it does, and easy to follow exercises that help hone those skills. The background history, origins, and meanings/uses of meditation are easy to follow and still very informative. The exercises are also easy to read and follow allowing for more chances of repetition and practice for kids, as well as adults. Will definitely be trying some of these for myself as well as with my son who has recently been having anxiety issues like insomnia. We started using a basic form of meditation with him, but this book will really help in finding new, fun, easy ways to incorporate meditation into our lives.

I received this book for free on Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is a fantastic book. I pre read it before giving it to my 2 girls to have a read of. They are 7 & 10.

The only criticism that I have is that some of the descriptions and terms are a bit too advanced for some kids.

I really like some of the tools and meditations though.

I pre-read this book as an option for my 11 year old kiddo. I loved how the author supplied illustrations, simple & brief meditations, short stories related to lessons around the art of meditation, and encouraged the reader to involve their parents and families in meditation as well. However, I do think the explanations went a little too in depth to hold my busy kiddos attention. I've highlighted and practiced some of the meditations with him using the authors guides and instructions, and they are very easy to implement and my son has enjoyed them so far! So I think this is a great book for the parent to use in conjunction with their kiddo to begin the practice of meditation - unless the reader is motivated and mature enough to seek out this practice on their own.
