Alyssia’s Magic Tree – A Magical Mindfulness Story Featuring Grounding Techniques to Support Children in Leading Calm and Happy Lives

Description

A proportion of the profit made on each book will be donated to my local ‘Mind’ charity who provide mental health services to children.

Join Alyssia on a magical nature hunt in the woods as she learns all about the magic of nature and how to use grounding techniques to calm her anger and overwhelm following an argument with her sister.

I am a mother of two girls, so I know what it can feel like when your child is struggling to understand and cope with the various emotions they experience. As a parent you want to support them in any way you can. This inspired me to create this magical mindfulness book series, to support children in learning different tools and techniques that they can use to manage their emotions and energy, and calm their mind and body, in a fun and magical way.

Alyssia is a sensitive little girl who loves magic. In this story, Alyssia becomes angry and overwhelmed following a disagreement with the younger children over a game she is playing. Her Mummy teaches her how to use grounding techniques to calm her mind and body, reducing her anger and overwhelm. They also go on a mindful nature hunt in the woods where she learns all about the magic of nature.

My hope is that this story encourages your little ones to get outside and experience the calming benefits of nature first hand, aswell as equipping them with techniques they can use to calm their mind and body even when they can’t get outdoors.

One of the easiest ways to help calm anxiety and overwhelm (in both children and adults) is by spending time in nature. Studies have shown that children who play outside are happier, more attentive, better able to concentrate, and less stressed and anxious than those who spend more time indoors.

A mindful nature hunt can be an excellent way to get outdoors and experience the calming benefits of nature whilst encouraging children to focus their attention on the present moment.

The grounding exercises described in the story are also a great way for both adults and children to bring themselves back to the present moment when they are feeling overwhelmed.

There are lots of free activities for children to complete at the end of the book, including a free nature hunt activity sheet!
