AS A PARENT and a Buddhist, I often find myself looking for ways to teach my toddler about Buddhism. You’d think that in today’s day and age, when everything is advertised as mindful this or that, I’d be able to find myriad resources. But ageappropriate Buddhist materials for young children are hard to find.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I can use anything my toddler is interested in to teach him about Buddhist values. So, the soundtrack on repeat on all my devices, and most of the songs already memorized both in English and Spanish. My husband and I keep catching each other unconsciously singing to ourselves, “We don’t talk about Bruno, no no!”
