In addition to assisting with the acquisition of a number of skills and capabilities, it's considered that mindfulness might also serve to raise educational standards.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo, what exactly \u003cem\u003eis \u003c\/em\u003eit that has caused so many of us - even all-party government committees - to stand up and take notice? After all, mindfulness can be a big word - and a big concept - for many of us to take to heart.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith kids, especially younger kids, it's enough to say that mindfulness is about awareness. It's nothing more than noticing our present-moment feelings, our thoughts, and how our body feels. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEven more exciting, pretty much \u003cem\u003eanybody \u003c\/em\u003ecan learn its basic principles. It's not the least bit necessary to know one jot about the historical developments and the links to meditation - or to study the emerging body of research that seeks to explain the 'science' behind the timeless principle of mindful awareness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith regular and shorts bursts of practice, you'll find that 'being mindful' amounts to a set of simple techniques that soon become second nature. Eventually it's easy to go back to that 'place' of focus - and kids of all ages (maybe you include yourself in this category) can learn to do this entirely of their own accord, just like Tibbs the Meditation Cat \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.15 x 9.69 x 7.44 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42129598709895,"sku":"9780955362972","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/d01f02819d4b3a44610fd30af1a75c36.webp?v=1732604230","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/tibbs-the-meditation-cat-mindfulness-for-kids-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
