Simple mindfulness practices to help your child (ages 5-12) deal with anxiety, improve concentration, and handle difficult emotions—with a 60-minute audio CD of guided exercises
Mindfulness—the quality of attention that combines full awareness with acceptance of each moment, just as it is—is gaining broad acceptance among mental health professionals as an adjunct to treatment. This little book is a very appealing introduction to mindfulness meditation for children and their parents. In a simple and accessible way, it describes what mindfulness is and how mindfulness-based practices can help children calm down, become more focused, fall asleep more easily, alleviate worry, manage anger, and generally become more patient and aware. The book contains eleven practices that focus on just these scenarios, along with short examples and anecdotes throughout.
Included with purchase is an audio CD with guided meditations, voiced by Myla Kabat-Zinn, who along with her husband, Jon Kabat-Zinn, popularized mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) as a therapeutic approach.

Amazing. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

This is my first review for a product I have purchased on Amazon. I feel so strongly about it that I felt the need to write and encourage other parents to try it.
We have been using this CD daily for over 3 months. It has created an almost miraculous change in helping my severely anxious child learn to calm himself down. This book has literally changed my child's life. I feel like a proselytizer when I tell people about it, but I feel strongly enough about it that I don't even care. ;)
I have a young elementary-aged child with anxiety so extreme that in the past, it was interfering with him falling asleep at night. We would do the whole bedtime-routine, I would turn out the light and leave the room and then he would spend up to 3 hours walking in circles in his bedroom until he fell over from exhaustion. He simply did not know to "turn off his brain" so that he could sleep. We tried many different things to help him calm down: hot baths, massages, reading books until he fell asleep, etc. None of them really worked. Recently his therapist recommended that we try some "mindfulness" training. I had the vague idea that mindfulness meant focusing on gratitude, taking some deep breaths, etc., but I had no idea how to teach that skill to a child. I started looking on Amazon for books on mindfulness and stumbled upon this Book/CD set. I ordered it, along with some of the Indigo Dreams CDs and crossed my fingers that something might help.
When the book and CD arrived, I skimmed the book and was totally unimpressed. I didn't even bother to finish reading it, because it came across as dry and boring. But the CD...that's another thing. The CD has 11 meditations on it that cover a variety of situations, from general anxiety to sadness to not being able to fall asleep. And they are amazing. They tap into a kid's deepest thoughts and insecurities and needs in ways that kids can't even verbalize. They are...magic. For the past three months, my kid has been falling asleep on average within 10 minutes of turning on the CD player. There was ONE night that meditation didn't work, and that was because he was too worked up to use it.
The CD starts with a 9 minute introduction that teaches kids how to meditate. (They don't realize that's what is happening. They think they are just learning to "sit like a frog.") After listening to that several times, my child had a very clear idea of how the meditative process worked and how it made him feel. He wanted more, because the feeling was so good. Over several days, we worked our way through all the meditations. Now he cues up the tracks he thinks he needs based upon what he is feeling. "The Conveyor Belt of Worries," "Sitting Like a Frog," "The Secret of the Heart Chamber," and "Sleep Tight" are our favorites. We listen to at least one every day. And the cumulative affect has been much greater than just helping with bedtime. It has helped my child to be calmer all throughout the day.
In researching the affects of meditation on the brain, I discovered that there are studies showing through the use of MRIs that mediation can actually shrink the fear-portion of your brain and strengthen the higher-reasoning portions. This affect is cumulative; the more you meditate, the greater and longer-lasting the benefit.
I have recommended this CD to anyone and everyone I know who has small children. The life lesson of learning to be calm and recognize that "thoughts are just thoughts and they don't KNOW everything" sends an incredibly powerful message that I think benefits all children. I even gave our copy to my child's teacher so she could use it in the classroom, because she said that all the kids are struggling to maintain calm as we get toward the end of the year. Now I'll be purchasing a new copy for home, because we can't be without it. :)

Fabulous for children (and adults!), especially those with anxieties and sleep problems

This book/CD set was recommended by a psychologist we saw for our son's anxieties and worries and to promote good sleep. It is very kid friendly and the voice used on the CD is very soothing to listen too. I like the basic lessons associated with relaxation and think it would be great to do on a nightly basis. Our whole family can listen to it together and each lesson only takes a few minutes. We all feel relaxed afterwards and have fun talking about our feelings and thoughts. Our son seemed more relaxed and slept better after doing these exercises. He even asked if we could "sit like a frog" on occasional evenings. Great book!
Update: Two years later and our children (now 10 and 8) are still BEGGING to "sit like a frog" every night. It's actually hard to get them to stop listening to it! It gives us an opportunity to sit quietly and then talk about how we feel afterwards, if we choose. Sometimes it's just the opportunity to sit quietly and say nothing at all, which is definitely not the norm in our family! It's been a really positive tool in our household and an empowering gift for our children. I love how the different meditations are named so that the kids can choose which one to do based on how they're feeling ("Handling Difficult Feelings" or "Weathering the Storm Inside.") I particularly like how she teaches children to create their physical and internal "happy place"...designing a place in their room or home they can go to be alone...and how to escape in their minds to a beautiful, magical place they've created in their minds full of people, places, and things they love. Her voice is the best of any guided meditations I've listened to, and I've listened to many. I hope the author puts many more of these books/CDs out - I feel they're highly beneficial.
In reference to the "stupid" comment that some reviewers have mentioned...I understand mothers' and fathers' concerns and wishes for their children to not use this word when referring to themselves or anyone else. We feel the same. However, I'm a "real" person and feel that even though we "teach" our kids not to use this term, it doesn't stop them from internally thinking it about themselves. Believe me - I've worked in a school system for 20 years and know all too well how students "feel" about themselves from time to time, especially given the growing expectations and intensity within our current school systems. She uses the word to assure the child that anything they feel, think, or believe is not "stupid" - that it's "normal" because everyone feels these things from time to time. My kids didn't question it at all but did discuss that they particularly liked this part because sometimes they do feel this way and the meditation helps them feel differently.
I hope you'll give this a chance! I can't recommend this enough! We absolutely love it!

A great resource for introducing powerful concept

Love this and have used it effectively not only with very young kids in a group setting but with a slightly older (9) kid than this seems to be geared toward. This is definitely one of the best resources for introducing young kids to the concept as well as the specifics of meditative practice and the idea of being in control of calming your own mind.The length and language are just right, and easy for most kids to get through.
Allowing the kid to fidget and not quite do this perfectly, while you do it along with him/her and remain unconcerned that they are fidgeting (or talking) seems to work best: non-judgmental but consistent in modeling calm engagement with the exercise. I'll then ask what difficulties they were having so we can work out some suggestions. This is, after all, called 'practice' :).
My only wish is that there were more meditations geared towards common specific issues kids deal with (there are some and they're very good).
