Why read it?
1 author picked Mindful Parenting as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love Susan Bogel’s straightforward path to mindfulness for parents and children. She has the mind of a scientist and it shows, but writes the heart of a teacher or therapist. Her book and writing are incredibly clear, as well as impeccably organized. The activities and scripts are engaging and precise, and the program is easy to follow.
From Christopher's list on The best books about teaching mindfulness to kids.
