Join us for an engaging mindfulness children's book reading and fun activity with local Edmond's author, Cindy Olejar, and inspiring narrator, Liz Ricciardi!
The book, "Beach Day Blues for Wally: how to be present with uncomfortable feelings," will offer you and your young one a lifetime tool and practice when uncomfortable feelings arise.
Take-Aways:
Sometimes we don't like what's happening and we might experience negative thoughts and big feelings. When we know how to be present and accept thoughts and feelings, they don't have to control us. Follow Wally as he learns how to be present with his distressing thoughts and uncomfortable feelings. This mindfulness book can teach children and adults a life long wellness skill that can cultivate resilience, gratitude, compassion, contentment, love and peace.
