The American Psychological Association’s 2014 survey on stress made an alarming discovery: America’s teens are now the most stressed-out age group in the country. Growing Up Mindful shows parents and professionals alike how to model and teach the skills of mindfulness that will empower our youth for the rest of their lives with greater self-awareness, resiliency, and confidence.

While many adults now understand how mindfulness practice helps us alleviate the stress and anxiety of our busy modern lives, getting a typical teenager on board is another story. Dr. Christopher Willard draws on his work with hundreds of young children, tweens, and teens—along with countless hours training parents, teachers, and other counselors—to make the principles and practices of mindfulness accessible, entertaining, and cool for people of all ages and interests.

Features dozens of exercises to incorporate mindfulness into daily life (in class, extracurricular activities, among peers), specific meditations and movement practices, compassion training, and more.

Ordered for our public library collection and a patron that found it left clutching the book like it was the answer to all her questions. I read the book on its return and it is indeed a wonderful road map to being positive. Read this and change your attitude.

I love this book! However, I should've spent the extra money and purchased the physical copy instead of the digital.

An amazing resource for teaching mindfulness to kids

August 19, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

If I could give this book 10 stars, I'd do it! I have been teaching mindfulness to pre-K to 8th grade in a school in St. Louis, starting my 8th year now. Because I'm teaching the same students each year, I need to "reinvent" curriculum that continues to interest them and challege them. This book is a treasure trove of wonderful, easily implemented practices!

His descriptive practice for understanding the different responses to stress will illustrate mindfulness more than words could possibly do. His chart on the positive impact of a regular mindfulness practice really resonated with our faculty on our beginning of the year retreat.

This book is for parents, teachers and therapists who are interested in sharing mindfulness with the kids in their lives. It is for someone just beginning to formulate what that might look like and for someone who's been doing it for a while. His suggestions are clear and easy to follow. His encouragement for pursuing teaching mindfulness to the kids in our lives is both uplifting, practical and stabilizing.

Thanks, Christopher, for your thoughtfulness and thoroughness in putting together this guide for the rest of us.
