Mindfulness is the ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we're doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what's going on around us.Equipping our children with tools that allow them to excel is of the highest priority for parents, educators, and counselors alike. Tools that help them build and become happy, healthy, and productive humans. Mindfulness is one such tool. It allows children to step outside of their chaos and find space to experience the "now". Knowing about Mindfulness and practicing it are two different things. In The Tail of Max the Mindless Dog, A Children's Book on Mindfulness, children will experience firsthand what it is like to have a problem (due to no fault of their own), attempt to take matters into their own hands, and not get the results they anticipated. They quickly identify with the pain Max experiences each time his tail is injured. They will recognize his attempts at correcting it. Finally, they will experience his excitement when he eventually discovers the wonderful tool called Mindfulness: the belly breath, count of ten, and words of affirmation. As a puppy, Max's tail frequently gets hurt. Believing his tail to be the source of his pain, he sets out to catch it and tie it in a knot. This begins his cycle of chasing his tail. It is when introduced to Mindfulness, a better, more productive habit is Max able to stop running in circles and learn to enjoy his life. Max is sure to become your child's favorite book to read again and again. The Tail of Max the Mindless Dog, A Children's Book on Mindfulness demonstrations firsthand how to apply the belly breath, count of ten, and words of affirmation. It is not only enjoyable for children, but adults also benefit from it.A Note From the Author:This beautiful story was given to me in a dream; only one word changed from that vision to the final product you hold in your hands. Having only briefly heard the term Mindfulness (from my friend, Dr. Michael Brumage), I quickly contacted him. It was with his encouragement to publish this fantastic story that you are now reading it. I had never considered writing children's books, and even as I type this, the fact that my name is on covers of books amazes me beyond words! I hope the message of The Tail of Max the Mindless Dog, A Children's Book on Mindfulness allows your child to recognize their mind to be fully present, aware of where they are and what they're doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what's going on around them.

The Tail of Max the Mindless Dog, A Children's Book on Mindfulness is a book about a little puppy named Max whose tail is oftentimes injured. Believing his tail to be the source of his pain, he sets out to catch it and tie it in a knot. In doing so, he develops a habit of running in circles. It is this habit of chasing his tail that causes him to miss out on all the fun in life. It is only when he has been introduced to Mindfulness: The Belly Breath, the Count of Ten, and Words of Affirmation that he is able to enjoy life fully. When that old habit tried to return, Max quickly applied what he learned and wonderful things began to happen for him. Max starts out in Sepia to allow children to visually experience Max's pain.
