I absolutely love reading books to my kids and love telling them stories! I love showing them pictures and learning shapes and different stories for their imagination! I was really excited to receive this book and reach to my kids before bed!
Jennifer Cohen Harper is the author of the new children’s book, Thank You Body, Thank You Heart.
She is a leader in the yoga and mindfulness world for 14 years, Cohen Harper has been inspiring and teaching children, their caregivers and teachers how these powerful practices improve our mental and physical well-being. And as a mother of two young daughters, she understands the importance in children achieving peaceful rest to better face their over-stimulating and pressure filled world. Her latest project, Thank You Body, Thank You Heart, is the perfect nighttime practice to calm and connect with our bodies in a meaningful way.
“There are many things that will shape a child’s relationship with their own body,” says Cohen Harper. “Many of them are outside of our control, but the more we can do to create a healthy identity early on, the more resilient our kids will be when faced with wildly competing messages about their worth. One consideration is that often, as our kids get older, they relate more and more to their body based on the way it looks. Actually, I find the world already relates to my young daughters based on how they look! If we can remember to help kids orient to their body in terms of function and feeling, we can help them become more embodied people, with better self-awareness, and an increased ability to understand and meet their own needs.”
I truly enjoyed reading this to my kids and I loved the message of it!
I highly recommend this for everyday reads with our girls to know that they are worthy and they are loved.
I loved that we need to practice this more especially with the rise of social media nowadays.
