Perfect for young girls

I have three young girls and yes they can get emotional.
The best thing about this guided imagery is that there is a coping model named Izzy that learns to "watch" her emotions come and go. How brilliant is that?!
Nice soothing fantasy music accompaniment and a perfectly calming narrator voice.
I'm a fan of "magic breathing."

I enjoyed this book so much

The first time I listened to it I was listening to vet it and see how I can use it with my little one who has been prone to tantrums. I loved that it is short enough to listen to a couple of times in a sitting. Then, I asked her to come and listen to it with me. We had many stops where I was explaining what things mean, but the book ended up so good for us. Now if I tell her, 'practice your breathing, hun,' she knows what to do. That I think is the best commendation I can give this book.

Mindfulness Introduction

This book is a wondeeful way to introduce young children to mindfulness. The tale gives great audio cues to help slow down a young childs mind. The narration compliments the story beautifully!
