A great episode with author Andrew Newman, writer of Conscious Stories for children. This is a wonderful conversation about the importance of connecting with our children on a deeper level and becoming more aware as parents of our own triggers. Andrew is an author of 18 conscious story books for children that are a wonderful opportunity to connect with your kids on a deeper level at bedtime. Andrew has spent many years in mens groups around the world and is very aware of the struggles of both men and fathers. He has also been on his own healing journey and understands the importance of connecting with children from a young age. These stories are a gateway to raising more mindful and connected children. "Conscious Stories are a collection of stories with wise and lovable characters who teach core life values to your children. Each of the books invites its readers to engage in mindfulness practices, beginning with Snuggle Breathing, which helps parents and children alike to share an experience of relaxation, presence and connection to each other and to the story. Each story ends with reflective activities and exercises to help children assimilate the lessons the stories have presented. Because the last 20 minutes of each day are precious, these books use this important time to help children and parents grow consciously together in mind, body and spirit."
