Frog on My Head:
A Mindfulness Practice for Young Children and Their Parents
Presented by Kristina Stadler

April 26, 2012, Luther Memorial (1026 University Ave)
11:30 – 1:00,  Lunch provided!

Sometimes when we start talking to our children about "calming down," we send them conflicting messages as we demonstrate our own inability to calm, self-soothe, or be with unpleasant emotions. Mindfulness, or "paying attention to what is happening right now," is a skill that can help both parents and children address these challenges together. "Frog on My Head" introduces the skills of mindfulness practice to parents with young children using a rhyming board-book and a beanbag frog. The froggy tour guide takes the reader on a journey from a little girl's head, to her shoulder, all the way to her toes, focusing on - and relaxing - each part of the body as he hops along.

Join us on April 26 for a one-hour workshop introducing parents and caregivers to this fun-filled tool for children ages 1-5.

(Board books and frogs will be available for $12.61, but are not required to do the "frog" practice: Cash/checks only.)
