与11岁的孩子一起开展简单而有趣的心智活动，以培养终身受益的技能，这些技能可以促进复原力、喜悦、专注和平静，并提升整体的幸福感。

帮助孩子们提高心智是一份意义重大的礼物。通过用心，他们将学会识别和管理自己的情绪，当他们不高兴时更能冷静下来，更好地专注于重要的任务，并更能以同情和慷慨的态度与他人互动。这些都是孩子们一辈子都需要的基本技能，但往往没有人明确地教给他们。想一想，我们经常要求孩子 "注意 "或 "冷静"，却从来没有告诉他们如何做。现在父母可以了，因为心智专家莎拉•鲁德尔•比奇会帮助你们。在教给孩子基本的心智技能之前，父母首先要学会自己如何更加专注。通过简单易懂的活动，一章一章地让孩子学习舒缓、专注、感受、暂停、欣赏和连接。每项活动都有适合不同年龄段的变化，还有特别紧张时刻的 "应急 "方法。

Simple and fun mindfulness activities to do with children up to age 11 to build beneficial lifelong skills that promote resilience, joy, focus and calm, and improve overall wellbeing.

Helping children to be more mindful is a powerful gift. By being mindful they will learn to recognise and manage their emotions, be more able to calm down when they are upset, become better at focusing on important tasks, and be more able to interact with others with empathy and generosity. These are fundamental skills that children will need throughout their life, but that they often aren't taught explicitly. Think of how often we demand that children “pay attention” or “calm down”, without ever having shown them how to do so. Now parents can, with help from mindfulness expert Sarah Rudell Beach. Parents first learn how to be more mindful themselves before teaching their children basic mindfulness skills. With easy-to-

follow activities, chapter by chapter children learn to Soothe, Focus, Feel, Pause, Appreciate and Connect. Each activity includes variations for different age groups, along with "emergency" how-tos for particularly stressful moments.
