Ready, Set, Breathe:
Practicing Mindfulness with Your Children for Fewer Meltdowns and a More Peaceful Family

How can parents prepare for and prevent their kids inevitable meltdowns? In "Ready, Set, Breathe," a clinical social worker and mother of two shows parents how to improve both their child's and their own ability to focus, calm down, and deal with stress through everyday mindfulness games, activities, rituals, and habits. Designed for children ages 2-10 years old, this book is fun, engaging, and effective! This is a must-read for all parents."

As any parent knows, children arent always receptive to what you say. Parental advice is often ignored or perceived as intrusive; and trying to get your kid to calm down and breathe can turn into an unpleasant power struggle in which you feel powerless and frustrated; and your child can feel nagged or bullied. The good news is that it doesn t have to be this way. In this book, you ll learn to teach mindfulness to your child in the most enjoyable and realistic way possible. You ll also learn skills to help yourself stay calm when your child does act up especially in public.
