A combination of theory and hands-on practical activities characterises this accessible book written for early years educators by an accomplished author and lecturer. The goal is to show how mindfulness, loosely described as an awareness of living in the present from one moment to the next, can be embedded into a learning environment for the youngest of children.
So, the book provides a step-by-step guide steeped in easy-to-use activities. Case studies interspersed throughout serve as a toolkit for teachers and inspiration for how to build these ideas into the curriculum for infants.
Chapter 1 introduces the application of mindfulness in early years settings. Chapter 2 identifies how teachers can build the curriculum to provide an environment for toddlers with mindfulness at its heart. Chapter 3 concentrates on developing this within indoor and outdoor areas. A consideration of mindfulness and staff is explored in Chapter 4.
