Mindfulness Workbook for Children and Youth
Mindfulness Workbook for Children and Youth
Description
Book Introduction
It is important to know techniques to appropriately manage emotions with children and adolescents.
Because overcoming adversity, big and small, before becoming an adult helps improve one's life in meaningful ways.
However, careful attention is needed when applying mindfulness techniques designed for adults to children and adolescents.
For this reason, more specific guidelines and approaches are needed for professionals who help children and adolescents develop proper mindfulness.
A workbook has been published that addresses these approaches and helps children and adolescents incorporate appropriate mindfulness practices into their daily lives.

This clinically applicable workbook was developed by a team of six psychiatrists, five child psychiatrists, and two meditation experts.
Translated based on solid expertise, this book first introduces the essential fundamental knowledge, perspectives, and practical approaches for understanding children and adolescents.
Then, it presents 154 different mindfulness tools in detail.
Going beyond the existing mindfulness books that simply contain theory, research, and a few examples of mindfulness techniques, this book comprehensively covers mindfulness techniques, skills, games, and activities developed specifically for children and adolescents.

This book, which serves as a mindfulness prescription, offers approaches, tools, activities, and techniques suitable for a variety of mental health issues and conditions, including sleep and pain, and can be applied in a variety of settings.
Furthermore, because it is comprised of easy-to-apply techniques, techniques, games, and activities, you can enjoy using these techniques at home and enhance the healing effects of mindfulness.
We hope this workbook will be a valuable resource for anyone considering systematically helping children and adolescents.
