7 Books on the Importance of Mindfulness

Mindfulness means staying in the present moment, able to observe one's thoughts, feelings, body sensations, and surroundings. It means slowing down, centering our focus on the here and now, and not letting racing thoughts of past and future distract us. Mindfulness is a crucial part of self-awareness, which is an important facet of childhood learning. How did that make me feel? How am I reacting? It helps children see themselves in connection with others and gives them the information they need to build friendships, manage themselves in school, and navigate challenges. Also, mindfulness exercises are calming! They make us feel good by clearing the clutter in our minds. These books give children the perspective and the tools to focus their thoughts and to listen to what the present moment has to offer.
