Planting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Though Yoga by Janice Pratt and Lenora Degen – Review by Jenni Bishop
Planting Seeds: A 6-Week Curriculum for Teaching Mindfulness and Movement to Children by Janice Pratt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Here within this book are ways to teach yoga and meditation to kids something that Lenora has a passion with. Mindfulness through yoga is not just for kids but for adults alike as it sharpens your focus and strengthens your attention. It also encourages self-esteem and in creating a positive self-image.
Planting Seeds is a 6-week curriculum series that sets about giving the teacher a tool on how to teach kids to become mindful through learning yoga in the classroom. It sets out ideas and themes and plans for lessons and activities.
It is easy to read and looks easy enough to implement. It is devised to be used for kids aged between 4 – 12 years but would be easily adapted for other ages.
It is an original and unique book that would help anyone one looking to do this kind of thing. There is a lot to teach but to also learn from at the same time.
Very clever.
