Calm Kids Help Children Relax with Mindful Activities by Lorraine E. Murray

“At school, we believe education should touch the whole child. This  includes the physical, emotional, spiritual, social and cognitive  aspects of the child's life. We teach children quietness as a skill to  reflect and recharge their inner lives. Lorraine Murray helped us on  this journey.” —Sheila Laing, Head Teacher 
Stress and  behavioral disorders are common in children, who are increasingly  bombarded by marketing campaigns, faced with school and peer pressure,  and able to sense the stress of adults around them.
Mindfulness  and meditation can help children recognize and cope with these  pressures, releasing bad feelings gently and giving them simple tools to  deal with tension and stress throughout their lives. In this practical  and inspiring book, Lorraine Murray shows parents, teachers and youth  workers how to lead fun and peaceful meditation sessions with children. 
Lorraine  explains a variety of different approaches, from meditations around  daily activities for busy families, to ideas for group “quietness”  sessions in schools. She provides fun, tactile rhymes for toddlers to  help them calm down before bedtime, and suggests ways to help teenagers  reduce anxiety. She goes on to explain how these methods can help  children with ADHD and those on the autistic spectrum, giving a range of  case studies.
This book is suitable for complete beginners, or  those with some experience of relaxation and meditation techniques. It  offers all the advice needed to lead sessions with children, whilst  encouraging the reader to adapt and develop their own ways of helping  children to feel calmer, happier and more peaceful.
