Planting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Though Yoga by Janice Pratt and Lenora Degen – Review by Tanya Wall, March 2024

Planting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Through Yoga by Janice Pratt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Planting Seeds” by Janett Pratt is a great way to help any adult delving into yoga and mindfulness with children. With meticulously structured lesson plans and captivating activities, this book serves as avguide for instilling healthy habits and positive attitudes. Pratt expertly intertwines the metaphor of planting seeds throughout, emphasizing self-care, gratitude, and kindness. The exercises, tailored for children aged 5 to 13, are accessible and thoughtfully crafted, even for novices. Having been part of a study about the impacts of practicing yoga as a middle grade girl, I have seen the profound effects of mindfulness on self-esteem, academic performance, and self-acceptance with this age group. This book provides an invaluable resource for nurturing mindfulness and fostering holistic well-being in young minds.
