Thank You Body, Thank You Heart: A Gratitude and Self-Compassion Practice for Bedtime

I'm grateful for a mind that knows, I'm special from my head to toes. And that all of me deserves to rest, so all of me can do my best. Invite your child to explore the many reasons to be grateful for their own body in this engaging bedtime practice. Make this colorful and charming body-scan book a regular part of the nighttime routine, and help the children in your life establish greater self-awareness and self-compassion. This book also includes helpful notes for caregivers, which explain how self-compassion and gratitude are powerful tools for well-being, leading to more peaceful sleep, better mornings and the cultivation of resilience for meeting life's challenges. With a steady cadence and easy to remember rhymes, Jennifer Cohen Harper crafted a lovely bedtime ritual and placed it between the covers of her new children's book. It'll only take a couple of times reading this book together before children will be able to run through it on their own, even when their parents are away or already tucked into bed themselves. -- Susan Kaiser Greenland, author of Mindful Games and The Mindful Child, founder of Inner Kids
