Introduction

THE INTRODUCTIONS OF many books are seen, barely acknowledged, and then briskly skimmed through by the reader out of their interest in the actual content of the book. With this introduction, we strongly urge you otherwise, as this book’s point is to explain how you can teach your child the wonders of mindfulness. What mindfulness is, in the first place, as well as many of its benefits, is not the subject of this book. These ideas will, instead, be explained in this introduction. Of these ideas, we’ll be covering the essentials behind the idea of mindfulness and the importance of instilling such an idea in your children, and then give a short explanation of the remaining chapters of this book.

What Is Mindfulness?

MINDFULNESS IS ALMOST too common a word. Many will use the word simply to talk about thinking and being aware. Beyond that, many use the word mindfulness as though it is a cure for everything, and as if it can supplement services that many people absolutely need, like therapy.

Sadly, mindfulness is not a universal cure for everything, but it is helpful for everyone. Simply put, mindfulness is the method of awareness. It’s easy to take such a broad definition, but a more precise definition allows us to derive some more helpful prescriptions. A good way to think about mindfulness is to see it as taking yourself off autopilot.

When you’re going about day to day, you’re probably acting on autopilot through much of it. What we mean by this is that you’re not thinking deeply about all of your actions or the sources of your opinions. What mindfulness seeks to do is make you aware of the source of all of your actions and thoughts so that you can truly understand what you’re doing every day. On top of acknowledging things, it’s important to know that most systems of mindfulness call for you to delay judgment of what you acknowledge. For example, if you were trying to be mindful and realized that many of your intrusive or habitual thoughts were rude and not representative of your true self, it’s important to wait until everything has played out and you’re removed from the situation before seeing those thoughts as necessarily bad or evil (though they likely are). This allows you to gain an appropriate disconnection from the situation before you make a judgment and create a plan of action. This process is meant to allow you to have a more honest and open evaluation of yourself, which can help you empathize with others and develop yourself in a more sincere and effective way.

Now that we have a working definition of mindfulness, let’s talk about what mindfulness is to most people so that we can understand it on a deeper level.

First and foremost, let’s talk about the recent rise in mindfulness and why that is. Mindfulness is, as we’ve already covered, the process of breaking out of your autopilot and making yourself aware and conscious of your actions. In the past couple decades, we’ve developed an incredible amount in terms of the internet and the disconnection from reality that it often
