After listening to a read aloud of Anh’s Anger by Gail Silver\, children will have the chance to engage in a mindful art and play while parents gather to discuss meeting the joys and challenges of family life with mindfulness. There will be time for sharing and mindful snacks after the two groups come back together. \nOver the next five months\, we will offer monthly events for families to gather and engage mindfully with different themes\, like kindness\, courage and peacemaking. Each month’s gathering will feature a mix of storytelling or read-alouds by authors\, as well as mindful movement\, dialogue\, meditation and play. We will begin in one big group for a check in\, listen to storytelling\, and explore the monthly theme together. Afterwards\, children are invited to meet with teachers\, work on an art project\, experience the joy of community\, spaciousness and mindful play. \nParents and caregivers will have the opportunity to meditate together and participate in a dialogue guided by a dharma teacher to explore the joys and challenges of parenting. \nView our flyer for dates and details about upcoming sessions in this series:\nMindful Kids Series – January-May 2026 \nAnh’s Anger \nThis wonderful and engaging story gives children and caregivers a concrete practice for dealing with anger and other difficult emotions.
