The Velveteen Rabbit, or How Toys Become Real: Illustrated. A children's novel written by Margery Williams and illustrated by William Nicholson. It chronicles the story of a stuffed rabbit and his quest to become real through the love of his owner. The book was first published in 1922 and has been republished many times since. The Velveteen Rabbit was Williams' first children's book. It has been awarded the IRA/CBC Children's Choice award. Based on a 2007 online poll, the National Education Association named the book one of its "Teachers' Top 100 Books for Children." A stuffed rabbit sewn from velveteen is given as a present to a small boy, but is neglected for toys of higher quality or function, which shun him in response. The rabbit is informed of magically becoming Real by the wisest and oldest toy in the nursery as a result of extreme adoration and love from children, and he is awed by this concept; however, his chances of achieving this wish are slight.

Nursery magic is very strange and wonderful, and only those playthings that are old and wise and experienced like the Skin Horse understand all about it.Like the Skin Horse, Margery Williams understood how toys--and people--become real through the wisdom and experience of love. This reissue of a favorite classic, with the original story and illustrations as they first appeared in 1922, will work its magic for all who read it.From the Hardcover edition.

Do you want to learn tales that help toddlers and children fall asleep fast, have beautiful dreams and a good relaxing night?If yes, then keep reading…When we first hear about meditation, what are some of the thoughts that come to our heads? We think about someone who uses this to help them to deal with anxiety, lower their blood pressure, and even to deal with depression and stress. But did you know that meditation is something that can be used with children as well? We all want children who are happy and healthy. Teaching kids how to do meditation can give them a big start to accessing some of the many benefits that show up with meditation. Even though kids today are showing higher levels of restlessness, anxiety, and stress than ever before, less than two percent of children are going to practice some form of meditation. Despite these figures, there are a number of studies that suggest that children who practice mindfulness and meditation tend to develop some positive traits such as better self-control, better attentiveness when it comes to being in class, and more respect and empath for those around them. And meditation could be a good way for your child to learn how to manage many conditions like hyperactivity, ADHD, depression, and stress. While we do not want to force children to meditate all of the time or they will start to have some aversions to it, many kids do have a natural feel for it, and it can provide them with some positive benefits. Remember that most of the time, younger children are not going to be burdened by as many barriers, preconceptions, or biases as parents, which is going to help them to succeed with their awareness. There has not been a lot of general research about the effects of mindfulness of kids who started with this when they turn into adults; meditation in the classroom is something that has gotten a ton of attention recently. One of the initiatives for this is the Compassionate Schools Project which is happening in Kentucky and impacting around 20,000 kids. This is a whole curriculum that is meant to help improve the way that children learn, both emotionally and mentally as well. And it includes meditation and other similar mindfulness techniques for the students who are on it. In one other study done in the San Francisco school system with the partnership with the Center for Wellness and Achievement in Education, was enough to convince even skeptics that the effort to provide training of mindfulness to children was worth it. In a four-year time period, suspensions reportedly decreased by more than 70 percent academic performance increased, and everyone was happy about it as well. Even if your school district is not providing this kind of thing to your child, it is still important for us to add in some mindfulness with our children.Do you want to learn more?
