I thought I’d share this book I ran across this morning.  It’s called You Are Not Your Thoughts, and it teaches children (and parents) how to be mindful of their surroundings and other people.

‘You Are Not Your Thoughts‘ was written to help children and parents become more aware of the present moment and to foster an environment of compassion and loving-kindness between all human beings. Mindfulness has nothing to do with politics; it is not a religion or a theory. Mindfulness is a way of living each moment in a way that expresses kindness and respect for all.

I think, as parents, it is our duty and our responsibility to our children to teach them, at an early age, to be mindful of others as well as what is going on around them.

This book will help you be aware of what is going on around you.  Per the author, Brian Despard, “Research shows that mindfulness increases attention skills, reduces anxiety and improves emotional regulation.”
