3.0 out of 5 stars Very short and basic, June 5, 2011

This review is from: How To Be A Zen Mama: 13 Ways To Let Go, Stop Worrying and Be Closer to Your Kids (Paperback)

THis is a lovely book, and the author is obviously a very cool and thoughtful person. But I found the book to be very, very basic with advice that was somewhat obvious (be kind!) and not expounded on enough to be helpful. I read it in about 20 minutes and won't need to pick it up again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for parents and teachers!, December 3, 2010

This review is from: How To Be A Zen Mama: 13 Ways To Let Go, Stop Worrying and Be Closer to Your Kids (Paperback)

I was fortunate to listen to Betsy Henry give a talk on this book. She shared many stories from the book, all with great meaning.
Most pearls of wisdom are simple, allowing busy and sometimes frazzled parents to digest the clear and simple suggestions for being a more mindful parent. I teach classes to kids about energy, awareness, mindfulness and yoga and yet I,too, forget what I know when I am exhausted or overwhelmed at the end of the day. This book brings you right back to what is important: pure and loving connections with your children. I highly recommend this book!

I loved this book. SO much in fact, that I had ordered a copy for my sister as a birthday gift. She's a mom of a toddler. I think this is very beneficial for moms!
