Sitting Like a Saint: Catholic mindfulness for Kids
$19.95
Dear Parents,
We've
written this book for two reasons: to help you introduce your
children to some of the great saints of our faith, and to help you
and your children grow in the peace beyond all understanding that
comes from being loved by a Father who takes care of us. Mindfulness
may seem like a new concept, but as it is presented in this Catholic
context, it is something that has been practiced since Jesus
commanded us to "not be anxious" about our lives. These
exercises are an effective way of teaching our children, through the
bodies God gave us, how to accept our feelings without criticizing
ourselves for having them, and at the same time how to control our
expression of them. In our own family we've experienced that often
when we devote time and energy to helping our kids, we end up helping
ourselves as well. We can't give them what we don't have, so learning
how to trust God and let go of our fears, worries, and frustrations
is the best way to model that peace for our children. We pray that in
teaching your children about God and the saints who have loved him in
the past, you will also experience a bit of that peace.
In
Christ,
