Sitting Like a Saint: Catholic Mindfulness for Kids

• Children's book by Catholic psychologist Dr. Greg Bottaro
• Insightful message and charming illustrations
• Exercises to teach children how to trust God and let go of worries
• Catholic mindfulness for kids

We’ve written Sitting Like a Saint for two reasons: to help you introduce your children to some of the great saints of our faith, and to help you and your children grow in the peace that comes from being loved by a Father who takes care of us. Mindfulness may seem like a new concept, but it is something that has been practiced since Jesus commanded us to “not be anxious” about our lives.

The exercises in this book are an effective way of teaching our children how to accept our feelings without criticizing ourselves for having them, and how to control our expression of them. In our own family, we’ve experienced that when we devote time and energy to helping our kids, we end up helping ourselves as well. We can’t give them what we don’t have. Learning how to trust God and let go of our fears, worries, and frustrations is the best way to model peace for our children.

We pray that, in teaching your children about God and the saints who love him, you will also experience a bit of that peace. Fourteen saints come to life in this wonderful book for kids.
