Product Description Gold medal, Mom’s Choice Awards Silver medal, 2017 Independent Publisher Book Awards A pausability is taking a pause just for you, to stop and notice what you feel, think, and do.  A pause is being in the moment and giving yourself a break.   There’s no wrong way to pause so it’s hard to make a mistake. In our increasingly hectic world, even children are often inundated with responsibilities and activities, and end up feeling overwhelmed and stressed. Mindfulness helps focus our attention on the present—without judgment, and without worrying about the past or future. It can help us to enjoy the moments we might normally miss, as well as cope when emotions are hard to handle. We just need to take a pause! Everyone has the capacity to be mindful, including (especially!) children. A World of Pausabilities is a gentle reminder to stop, take a break, and notice details even as we go about our busy days. Sometimes the simplest moments are the most important ones—if we don’t let them pass us by! Following a neighborhood on a summer day, readers will learn how to apply mindfulness to simple, everyday moments, and how days are filled with endless possibilities to take a pause. Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers that further discusses mindfulness and ways to introduce pauses into your child's life. From School Library Journal ACCURATE SELF-PERCEPTION; MINDFULNESS SELF-AWARENESS Review Gold medal, Mom’s Choice Awards Silver medal, 2017 Independent Publisher Book Awards "Sileo invites readers to explore the potential in 'pausabilities'...he offers a wealth of ideas for how children and families can stay engaged in the present." — Publishers Weekly “Ideal for a yoga storytime or as a bedtime read to encourage children to pause, take a breath, and go to sleep with a sense of appreciation…elementary teachers could use this title as a warm-up read before starting the day’s activities, to provide a respite from work, or to stimulate concentration.” — School Library Journal "I really liked this book. I’ve learned a lot about “pausabilities.” When I get upset, I think of how I can take a pause and calm down."—Brian, Age 6,  Kids' Book Buzz “A great resource for parents and teachers interested in teaching children about mindfulness.” —Mom’s Radius "This charming and delightful new book for children has beautiful illustrations and short poems that clearly and playfully express the essence of mindfulness. Best yet, it offers children simple guidance to incorporate and experiment with mindfulness in their lives." —Diana Winston, Director of Mindfulness Education, UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center, Author of Fully Present: The Science, Art and Practice of Mindfulness "Dr. Frank Sileo has written another incredibly beautiful and inspiring book for children. A World of Pausabilities cleverly and engagingly introduces kids to the concept of mindfulness, teaching them practical everyday skills to cope with the emotional ups and downs of life. This is a must-read for all children—and parents!" —Lawrence Rosen, MD, Integrative Pediatrician and Founder of The Whole Child Center "…with spontaneity and breathless delight, Dr. Sileo illustrates how children can use a pause to get to know and explore their own inner awareness. Especially impressive in Pausabilities is the absence of any kind of preaching or use of "shoulds." Pausabilities is an affirmation and an adventure…Bravo, Dr. Sileo!" —Diane Handlin, PhD, Founder and Executive Director of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Center of NJ "We live in a busy, hectic world. As adults we have become accustomed to the pace and often do not realize how wound up we have become. Our children's health, well-being, and happiness are suffering today due to the chaos of this pace. Remembering to pause, or even knowing what that means is so unfamiliar…until now. A World of Pausabilities cleverly introduces the possibility of what it means to stop, notice
