Mindfulness at Play was written by a mindfulness expert and university lecturer, a psychologist and play therapist. (both are parents) to help parents and young people recognise and expand the practice of mindfulness in their lives, in order to improve wellbeing.

Mindfulness is widely used in personal development, healthcare, business and sports to improve wellbeing and performance.

Mindfulness at Play is for those it can potentially be of the greatest value to - young people - and the people who give them their primary support, their parents. It combines science and wisdom, theory and practice, strategies and activities. It also provides a combination of psychological knowledge and practical guiding principles which will help parents help themselves, as well as their children, to achieve mindfulness.

The authors know that the benefits of mindfulness are substantial and far-reaching. When young people can clearly focus on their internal world in the present moment, they are better able to:

Know and communicate their experiences and needs - a critical component of emotional intelligence.
Discover that they can be curious rather than overwhelmed by emotions, leading to greater emotion regulation and resilience.Increase self-acceptance and decrease shame, resulting in greater wellbeing, more effective healing from trauma, and an increase in pro-social behaviors towards others.

This book will greatly help young people's learning development, social development and whole-person development. It is a comprehensive yet light, playful and play-based one-stop mindfulness resource for parents.

Dr Stephen McKenzie researches and teaches psychology, including mindfulness and wellbeing. Angela North is a psychologist who employs play therapy with young people their families to treat a range of emotional and behavioral problems.
