Grow: Tending to the Hearts and Minds of Children Through Mindfulness

Grow: Tending to the Hearts and Minds of Children Through Mindfulness (Paperback & Hardcover)

by Molly Schreiber, Julie Strittmatter, and Melissa Hyde, 

Imagine a world where every child is equipped with the superpower of mindfulness from an early age. Picture a generation empowered with the tools to navigate life's challenges with grace, resilience, and inner peace.

The journey of mindfulness is one that transcends boundaries, embracing individuals from all walks of life. Its transformative power is undeniable, touching hearts and minds with its profound benefits. Yet, for many, this journey begins later in life, leaving us to ponder... What if we could introduce these invaluable practices to our children from the very start?

In the pages of GROW, you'll discover a collection of relevant and playful mindfulness exercises, carefully curated to engage young learners on multiple levels. The exercises fall into Challenge to Change's signature Five Parts of Practice, including:

• Breath Practices
•  Movement
• Sensory Experiences
• Yoga Naps (Guided Mindfulness)
• Practices for Brain and Heart Power

From the gentle rhythm of breath practices to the invigorating movement of yoga, from sensory experiences that awaken the senses to guided imagery that ignites the imagination, each exercise is a gateway to unlocking the boundless potential within.

Authored by three former elementary teachers — Molly Schreiber, Julie Strittmatter, Melissa Hyde, and—GROW is a testament to their collective expertise, passion, and unwavering commitment to the well-being of children. Their blend of classroom experience and yoga instruction breathes life into the pages, offering a blueprint for fostering mindfulness in the hearts and minds of the next generation.

“At home, our mindfulness practices have evolved into a shared language that helps keep our family life healthy and bright.” - Kristina Castaneda, Educator, Health Coach, and Musician, Dubuque, Iowa
