Produktbeschreibung

¿Gold Medal, 2 3 Mom's Choice Awards Silver Medal, 2 4 Nautilus Awards Visiting Feelings invites children to sense, explore, and befriend any feeling with acceptance and equanimity. Includes a Note to Parents. Do you have a feeling that's visiting today?  Can you open your door and invite it to play? Visiting Feelings harnesses a young child amp rsquo s innate capacity to fully experience the present moment. Rather than labeling or defining specific emotions and feelings, Visiting Feelings invites children to sense, explore, and befriend any feeling with acceptance and equanimity. Children can explore their emotions with their senses and gain an understanding of how feelings can lodge in the body, as conveyed by common expressions like amp ldquo a pit in the stomach amp rdquo or amp ldquo lump in the throat. amp rdquo Children can cultivate this emotional intelligence and nurture a sense of mindfulness. In essence, mindfulness is tuning into yourself and paying attention to the present moment without judging or analyzing what you are thinking or feeling. Practicing mindfulness can enhance many aspects of a person amp rsquo s well-being, help develop insight and empathy, and enhance resiliency. Taking the time to practice mindfulness as a family is a remarkable gift for parents to give to their children, and will help children as they navigate the teen years and adulthood. Includes a amp quot Note to Parents amp rdquo to provide more information about emotional awareness, and suggests ways to seamlessly incorporate mindfulness practices into your child and family's daily routines.
