Discover the Magic Within!
Children’s fiction is a wonderful way to introduce mindfulness for all kids.
As parents, carers, or educators, we understand the importance of helping children find their inner calm (especially at bedtime/in school), which is why the mindful story of Robbie and Jess can help!
The Power of Storytelling and Mindfulness
Storytelling has long been a cherished tradition, engaging the imagination and helping children stay focused. We have combined this with mindful skills to help children find their inner calm and cope with life.
Why Mindfulness Matters for Kids
Mindfulness and meditation have proven benefits for both adults and children. For our little ones, it can enhance focus, reduce anxiety, and promote emotional well-being. Introducing mindfulness through bedtime stories is a creative and enjoyable way to help children develop these essential life skills.
Robbie and Jess: A Magical Duo for Mindful Storytelling
Our book, Robbie and Jess, can take your kids on a mystical journey that helps them engage with the idea of mindfulness.
We created this book for children struggling with anxiety, stress or trauma. The main character (Robbie) is a boy with no family – in foster care who struggles to fit in… until he meets Jess.
Signed book and crystalMindfulness storytelling for anxious kids – how to use the book
- If you are teaching them to read: take turns reading out parts of each chapter (if you purchase the book).
- Make some time for discussion: After each story, discuss the adventures with your child. Ask them how they felt during the story and encourage them to share their thoughts. This will help them process the feelings and thoughts they have had that day.
- Lead by Example: Join in on the mindfulness exercises during the storytelling. Children often learn best when they see their parents or carers actively participating.
- Using the crystal: If you purchase the signed book and crystal, they can hold it when you are reading/listening to the book. At night time they can place the crystal by their bed/under their pillow. If it’s a class, each child who reads part of the book out loud can hold the crystal as they do so.
