Guided meditation for children

On Monday night Dash was about to get ready for bed when I asked him if he'd do a guided meditation with me. I can't say how many times I've asked this, but it was the first time that he agreed to do it.

Since my eyes were closed, I didn't know what he was doing, or if he was even listening. At the end, I was pleasantly surprised that he did pay attention, and he started asking me questions. What color did I choose? How he changed his color to be a "happy" color...

Just like encouraging our children to make good food choices, we can keep offering, and one day we may be surprised by the response.

Let's see if he takes me up on my offer next time!
