When Esperanza finds a heart-shaped rock, she sees it as a reminder to spread kindness and love in the world. But when the school play doesn't go as planned, will she remember to show kindness to herself? We talk to kids a lot about how to be friends with others but less about how to be friends with themselves. Yet when kids show themselves empathy and understanding, especially when they make mistakes, it helps build their emotional resilience, growth mindset, and sense of well-being.

We are going to conduct an exercise in which I describe how the characters react to important events on the board. On the board, there will be columns, and each column will be broken into sections, with the divisions being Characters, Settings, Major Events, and important story information. I'll ask the students to come up to the board and drag their answers into the column they believe the answers belong in. If the child correctly responds, the light turns green; if they incorrectly respond, the light turns red.

Discover the power of mindfulness in this companion to New York Times bestsellers I Am Human and I Am Love!

Mindfulness means being fully in the present moment. Children can learn how to manage their emotions, make good choices, and balance their busy lives by learning to be mindful, express emotions through speech, find empathy through imagination, and wonder at the beauty of the natural world.

“There are times when I worry about what might happen next and what happened before. The thoughts in my head are like rushing water, and I feel like a boat with no anchor . . . being carried away. I give myself a moment. I take a breath.”

Mindfulness encourages us to pay attention to our experiences (our feelings, sensations in the body, emotions, surroundings) without judgment but with kindness and curiosity. Scientific research has proven that there are many benefits to practicing mindfulness. With so many children suffering from anxiety, there is no better tool than learning to be mindful. And it’s never too early to get started.

Here is a gentle expression of the tenets of mindfulness, encouraging young children to breathe, taste, smell, and be present in the here and now. I Am Peace is a reflection of the power of mindfulness in all our lives. It is a perfect guide with which parents and teachers can help children pay attention to their feelings and learn to control their worry and anxiety.

Includes a guided meditation.
