Plummer, D

Focussing and calming games for children : mindfulness strategies and activities to help children to relax, concentrate and take control - London Jessica Kingsley 2012

This book uses a model of 'mindfulness play' to help children to achieve well-being. This approach encourages children to build awareness of their inner and outer worlds. Part one covers the theoretical and practical background, the games are detailed in part two. The activities are suitable for use with groups and individual children aged 5-12, and can be adapted for children with specific attention and concentration difficulties, such as ADHD, and for older children. This is an ideal resource for counsellors, social workers, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, parents, and carers.
