Book excerpt: Most mindfulness books for kids are calm and soothing; this one is funny and gross—just what kids like! Sometimes we have nightmares, or we’re filled with anxiety and fear. And when you’re a kid, you don’t always understand why or what to do about it. Your Mind Makes Thoughts Like Your Butt Makes Farts is funny and gross, but more importantly, it gives kids the big tools they need to cultivate a relationship with their mind, to become its friend and understand that they don’t have to listen to everything it says—to realize that thoughts (like gas) will pass.
