A collection of ideas for daycare, preschool, and all-day care, as well as for elementary and special schools, for ages 3-8. Sitting perfectly still and meditating quietly on a cushion—sounds impossible with children, right? Fortunately, it doesn't have to be! These mini meditations for stress relief and slowing down provide age-appropriate ideas beyond just sitting in silence. The playful exercises designed specifically for children aged three to eight ensure relaxation in a child-friendly way. The author is a relaxation therapist and offers practical ideas for every occasion and every child. In addition to suggestions involving sound, song, or rhythm, you will find activities that include movement as well as creative and imaginative exercises for all senses. From clapping meditation and humming songs to "Mirror Me" and movement games, to meditative painting and mindful handwashing.
