Product Description
A Handbook
A parents' and teachers' guide to developing children's concentration, self-discipline, and compassion, as well as heartfelt qualities like openness and enthusiasm.

Includes more than 90 techniques and exercises drawn from Durmond's 20 years of experience as a teacher and director of the Living Wisdom School, a nonprofit elementary school that emphasizes nonsectarian spiritual principles and practical skills for living.
Recommends books, music, games, and other resources to help grown-ups nurture calm and compassionate kids.
