Description
Mindfulness is proven to boost children’s physical, mental, and socio-emotional development, but establishing the practice requires making it a part of daily life. With delightful illustrations and kid-friendly language, Mindful Moves introduces kids to simple mindfulness activities that are fun, easy to remember, and available for kids to turn to any time the need arises, no matter where they are. Check Your Inner Weather encourages children to tune into how they feel in the moment and accept their feelings without judgement. Pose like a Superhero helps fill kids with inner strength and confidence, while Breathe like a Walrus helps them channel frustration or anger through breath and facial relaxation. Each of the meditation, mindfulness, yoga, and movement activities is designed to help kids stay calm, be present, and feel focused and happy. Whether it’s before a busy day at school, in the backseat of the car, during a test, or heading off to bed, this is a guide kids can refer to again and again!

Mindful Moves by Nicole Cardoza is a colorful and joyful book chock full of calls to action. It connects mindfulness to emotions and experiences in ways that children understand. If I were using this book in the classroom or in homeschool, I would spread out the reading of it into multiple days and connect the activities to real life experiences. I would love to start the day with a new yoga move that we practice to begin our day with mindfulness. I also love the idea of using this book long term, almost like a reference book. Once you do a full read through with kids, they can refer back to it for certain situations they are encountering. As stressful as things are these day, I would even recommend that the teacher, parent or caregiver model some of the mindfulness exercises throughout the day as certain situations occur.
