Publisher Description

Teaching Our Children to Help Themselves Be Happy Practical, timely, relevant, and inspiring, 10 Mindful Minutes is Goldie Hawn’s gift to parents who want to help their children learn better and live happier lives. Inspired by the revolutionary MindUP program (developed under the auspices of the Hawn Foundation), the book offers easy-to-grasp insights from current behavioral, psychological, and neurological studies to show how our thoughts, emotions, and actions—including our ability to focus, manage stress, and learn—are all exquisitely interconnected. Hawn presents simple and practial ways to develop mindfulness in children and parents alike, and shares her own heartfelt experiences with the challenges and joys of parenting.

    " I could not get into this book. Although the premise of taking at least 10 minutes out of your day to be more mindful (focused, appreciative, aware) sounds good, I could have gotten the message in just 10 pages instead of a whole book. I did like Goldie Hawn's personal reflections, and I think that she sounds like someone I would enjoy being around. "

    " The day this book came out I saw Goldie Hawn interviewed about it and knew immediately I'd like to read it. Very insightful tools to help parents reduce the stress abd anxiety in their children's life, as well as their own. Scientific info on how the brain works under worry or happiness was very interesting and not wordy but still thorough. Book would make a wonderful gift for any parent! "

    " Thougthtful, provocative, I enjoyed it. Used a few of the ideas with my neices and nephews and had a great time. This book tells us nothing that we don't already know, however pointing it out with gentle reminders adds to its endearment. I have recommended this book to quite a few people already. "

    " A friend told me to read this and it was great advice! Hawn gives simple, step-by-step instructions on teaching mindfulness and meditative breathing to children. As a family, we have been going over one section per week, and I am already seeing progress. The children are using the terminology and noticing when their "Guard Dogs" come out and trying to use their "Wise Old Owls" to make less impulsive decisions when they are stressed or upset. This book is simple to read, simple to understand and simple to implement. I highly recommend it to anyone hoping to increase the emotional intelligence of their children. "

    " Maybe if this hadn't been an audio book I would have stuck with it because I could have skimmed through the stuff I already know about how the brain works. I was looking for some practical advice on teaching mindfulness and gave up on it before I found any. Maybe will pick up at another time. "
