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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrizia Collard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0955362970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780955362972\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e North Star Press Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.15d","brand":"Patrizia Collard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947492114687,"sku":"9780955362972","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_05fcc21b-f918-4793-b137-2ee9e026f368.jpg?v=1681519053","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tibbs-the-meditation-cat-patrizia-collard-9780955362972","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
