'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.'You Are Not Your Thoughts' introduces children to tools that can help them lead a happier life. Children and adults can benefit from this book. This book has many beautiful messages for children and adults. Reading it to a child is a fun way to learn valuable and necessary life skills. Mindfulness is paying attention - here and now - with kindness and curiosity. Mindfulness reconnects people to their senses, bringing them into moment-to-moment awareness. Research shows that mindfulness increases attention skills, reduces anxiety and improves emotional regulation. YOU can free yourself of destructive thoughts, emotions and behaviors by simply remembering to be present - right here, right now. We feel this book is relevant and there is no better time than now to start the conversation of understanding with our children that we are not our thoughts..

I had the pleasure of reading a copy of this book, and it is such an amazing introduction to mindfulness. It is so purely stated and the photographs are colorful, vivid and bring the words to life. There are few books out there - especially for children - that capture the true essence of living life with moment to moment awareness. The act of mindfulness does not have to be overcomplicated, and this book has perfectly encompassed the simplicity of living out each moment of life with passion, energy, and the beautiful, open mind that children possess. Bravo!

This is a great way to share quality time with my granddaughter at bedtime. I find the book honest and pure while my granddaughter (3 yrs old) loves the pictures. Together we are exploring the importance of here and now. Since we started sharing this book there is a closeness that grows each time we discuss how one of the messages in the book relates to our daily experience. Throughout my day I am drawn to our evening discussions and it brings me back to the present moment.

Beautiful for children and parents!
This is such a wonderfully written book. I read it to my five year old daughter, mostly at bedtime and I think that I may get as much from it as she does. Read more
