We do our best when we're relaxed, confident, and capable. Teenagers and children are no different. Practices for Growing up Mindful offers parents, educators, counselors, and caregivers a series of exercises and meditations for cultivating the skills and attitudes that will empower us - and our children - to handle the increasing stress of modern life in wise and healthy ways.

Striking a perfect balance of funny and factual, this charming audiobook encourages young listeners to accept their emotions (and their farts) without shame, even when they really stink.
