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.

"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."
