About this title

About the Author:

During a long adoption phase Chris searched for the best children's mindfulness techniques to help his child. Chris tried more than 200 mindfulness activities for kids and teens. He made an amazing discovery: mindfulness could be made both simple and playful--and if mindfulness was made playful it would be enjoyable and it would actually stick!

After 8 years of trying to conceive and just 2 weeks before finalising adoption his wife became pregnant with their son Anton. Chris felt it was nothing short of a miracle and started mindfulness practice when his son was just six months old. 

Anton, now 4, knows tools to help him be focused, calmer, less scared, and happier when he needs to be. He even knows how to cheer daddy up by gently guiding Chris through a joy-boosting gratitude practice. It's amazing what kids can do!

Mindfulness has helped the whole family experience more moments of family peace, heartfelt connection, and laughs. 

Chris now teaches mindfulness to kids, teens, parents and educators to give them easy access to that same sense of contentment, accomplishment, and connection with kids and youth. 

Chris is the founder of BlissfulKids.com, a blog dedicated to children's mindfulness, and a dad who is thrilled to practice mindfulness with his son. He is a certified mindfulness facilitator and trained to teach mindfulness to students in K-12. He's also an executive consultant and has taught meditation for more than 15 years.

Review:

Amazon #1 Best Seller!★★★★★ This book makes it easy and is a must have for every parent and teacher! I have read so many books on this topic but this is the best by far - so well laid out and carefully explained. Wow...what an incredible book. It's like you have compiled every great mindfulness-based activity and put all of it in one place. My son and I have been using some of the activities before he goes to sleep at night and when we have a few quiet moments together and just love it.
- Denise Besic, Mother and Teacher
 
★★★★★ What a wealth of ideas to not only use in my work but also recommend to the children, young people and families that I see and to use at home with my own family. Not only has Chris laid out no less then 150 mindfulness activities, he has provided an amazing introduction with multiple tips on how to apply mindfulness. Amazing job compiling all of these wonderful ideas!
- Rebecca Yin Foo, Educational and Developmental Psychologist and Author of Counselling Children: A Practical Introduction
 
★★★★★ Christian Bergstrom provides so many fun and developmentally appropriate activities for mindfulness in the classroom, on the playground, and, and in our homes. I can't wait to share with my teachers, students, and families.

★★★★★ Whether you're a Teacher, Parent, Grandparent, etc and no matter the needs or typicality of the kiddos, every human being is going to benefit greatly from having this book! I dare you to give it a chance, you won't regret it!
- Stacy Brookover, Intervention Specialist and Mother
 
★★★★★ I can now pick up my "go to" guide on facilitating mindfulness sessions for myself(!) and all of the young ones I work with & try one of the many fun activities at a moment's notice. I love the way you have suggested a "Weekly/ Now & Then" list of activities and the organisation into Purpose/ What you Need etc. I love the categories, the sensory needs addressed, the simple instructions and the guided scripts. 
- Terina Parmenter, Primary School Teacher and Mother
 
★★★★★ I loved this book!

★★★★★ I think all schools could do with a copy of your book. It really is brilliant!
- Lilly Smith, Mother
 
★★★★★ A very useful and fun book to read, with so many exercises that I expect will be on my beside table for years to come. If you are new to mindfulness, this book will guide you not only to help your children, but with your own practice as well. If you already meditate, I expect you will find some surprises on some of these exercises that will help you deepen your own journey.
- Natalia Berlanga, Mother
 
★★★★★ The way Christian is putting the explanation of mindfulness for children is very useful and works amazing. My children (12 and 9 yrs old) do now understand what it means to be more conscious.
- Stephanie Leroux, Founder of The Happinet dot com
 
★★★★★ What an amazing resource! Super impressed by the content in this book. The list of suggestions is amazing! I'm always researching different activities to share with my godchildren and students. I love having all these ideas in one place I can easily find them to use and share!
- Stefanie Nelson-Muller, School Counselor
 
★★★★★ The Ultimate Mindfulness Activity Book is a great introduction and guide to mindfulness and activities for a practice. This book is for parents and educators who want to teach and help the children they care about develop the skills and strategies needed to understand their feelings and respond to challenges and difficult situations in a reasoned, thoughtful manner. A great resource for parents and educators.
