Planting Seeds: Growing Mindful Children Through Yoga by Janice Pratt and Lenora Degen – Review by Amanda Gonazlez

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

Diving into this book, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Of course, as it says in the title, this is a guide to yoga and meditation for children, but I got a deeper meaning from the reading/guide. There’s an underlying teaching of mindfulness towards the world, guiding the reader (presumably a guardian) to expand a child’s view of the word and be more understanding of others in their community – rather than solely focusing on internal mindfulness. That aside, there’s an active component to the guide that would make this a fun experiment and activity for young children. I would recommend this guide for teachers or daycares, as well as for families if they would like to use this resource to help children become more mindful while also proving fun activities for them to actively participate in.
