Teaching Meditation to Children
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007I found a wonderful book on teaching meditation to children entitled … guess what? Yup …”Teaching Meditation To Children” by David Fontana and Ingrid Slack. It’s a practical approach to teaching meditation to children from 5 to 18 years old, written by psychologists who have worked extensively with children, and who have experience teaching meditation to all age groups. This book is aimed at teachers, parents, and other adults who work with young people. The book is filled with practical exercises that young people can enjoy. There are also tips on how to use meditation for specific problems, such as:

- Hyperactivity, agression, and impatience
- Anti-social behavior
- Asthma, insomnia, And depression
