Mindfulness may seem like a new concept, but it is something that has been practiced since Jesus commanded us to “not be anxious” about our lives.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e   The exercises in this book are an effective way of teaching our children how to accept our feelings without criticizing ourselves for having them, and how to control our expression of them. In our own family, we’ve experienced that 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. Learning how to trust God and let go of our fears, worries, and frustrations is the best way to model peace for our children.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e   We pray that, in teaching your children about God and the saints who love him, you will also experience a bit of that peace.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn Christ,\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGreg and Barbra Bottaro\"\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SUNRISE MARIAN CENTRE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48508545138893,"sku":"9781635820539","price":31.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0593\/2109\/0253\/files\/sitting-like-a-saint_540x545_297994e2-e07f-46f3-87b2-5ae3b51ce81b.jpg?v=1765056131","url":"https:\/\/universalchurchsupplies.ca\/products\/sitting-like-a-saint-catholic-mindfulness-for-kids","provider":"Universal Church Supplies Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
