My Daddy is a Pretzel: Yoga for Parents and Kids by Baron Baptiste is not only a wonderful resource for parents and children – but for yoga teachers and classroom teachers as well. As a parent, certified kids yoga teacher, and pre-school educator, I recommend this book as an invaluable resource for introducing children to yoga and reinforcing yogic concepts. This book provides parents and educators with a simple story along with detailed illustrations and directions to get kids moving. My Daddy is a Pretzel encourages children to believe in and accept themselves, find contentment and look forward to their life’s journey. This book is a wonderful addition to a family library for parents and children to share, bond and explore the many benefits of yoga. My Daddy is a Pretzel has become a recent addition to my children’s’ yoga classes and will remain a constant resource. It provides my students with an opportunity to develop listening skills, helps encourage a love of literature, provides positive reinforcement of yogic principles and gets my yoga students exploring yoga in a new way.

How do you teach children to be thankful?  

By helping them to recognize and identify all that they have to be thankful for.  Helping children shift their focus away from material objects and instead find gifts in the people that love them, people in their communities, and people around the world, can go a long way to raising children who grow up to be caring, compassionate, members of our society.  Practicing gratitude helps us become more appreciative, empathetic and sensitive individuals.  One way to help children practice being thankful is to create a "Thankful Thoughts Box".  Recycling an old shoe box is a great way to demonstrate recycling while creating your "thankful thoughts box".  Decorate your box with paint, or coat your box with a solution of glue mixed with water, then cover with pictures cut from magazines, and strips of old tissue paper.  After your box is completely decorated, reapply a final coat of glue solution to cover the entire box.  This helps protect your decorations.  Once your box is complete, put it in a special place, like next to your bed or on the dinner table.  Each night ask your child to reflect on their day and think of at least one thing that  they are thankful for.  Help them write down their "thankful thought" on a strip of paper and place in the box.  Once a month, remove the "thankful thoughts" from the box and read them aloud to reinforce the feelings of gratitude.

Wonderful books to share with children that promote concepts of thanks and giving are It's Not What You've Got by Dr. Wayne Dyer and The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.
