Synopsis

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.

The kids just got it right away, and seemed hungry for something that would help them manage the stresses in their life. . . . In my twenty years of measuring social-emotional learning quotients, I've never seen a program that works as well as this one (Dr Kimberly Schonert-Reichl)

'This is a remarkable book . . .

'10 Mindful Minutes can help any adult - parent, grandparent, teacher - make double use of their moments with the children they love and have a terrific time while helping shape that child's brain for a lifetime of resilience and happiness' Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence
Our children are overwhelmed, stressed and overstimulated. The need for solutions that simultaneously promote their social and emotional skills, mental health and academic performance is more critical than ever.

Driven by Goldie Hawn's lifelong interest in the practice of mindfulness and her commitment to the welfare of children everywhere, the Hawn Foundation developed the MindUP programme to help children reach their full potential. 10 Mindful Minutes shares the secrets of this groundbreaking programme, which is used by educators around the world. Through simple techniques such as mindful breathing, sensing and thinking, it shows parents and children alike how to focus on feelings of gratitude, kindness and optimism that will improve relationships, increase performance through better concentration, and lead emotionally healthy and happy lives.
