 Why the inflated price?? Oct 15, 2009
Wow, talk about opportunistic jerks! Anyone selling this book for $40 or more needs to meditate on being a better person.

Inspiring and helpful Feb 18, 2006
The techniques are drawn from a variety of religious traditions, and the author does a good job of being specific and clear about how to set up your space, what props to collect, and how to approach the feared and revered practice of meditation with kids. This book also contains wonderful, inspriring, color photos of glowing children getting back to their true selves. my only complaint is that there is a lot of time spent re-hashing meditations that are essentially the same. I would have liked a more general descpriotn of types of chants, thoughts, and breathing techniques rather than a play-by-play of the "breathe in love/joy/light breathe out fear/anger/bad" in multiple chapters. One of a kind, and a great tool for mindful mamas and papas.

 Excellent/ 5 stars Jan 15, 2006
This book is perfect for busy parents trying to introduce their children to energy, meditation and other high level concepts. The author presents information in an easy to follow and read format.I enjoyed that the suggestions were not too out there to actually implement.
I am also a fan of the meditation/relaxation CD series "Indigo Dreams". The book and this CD have made it possible for me to introduce these healthy concepts to my children. (Sorry about the one star. I pressed the wrong button and the system will not let me change it) This is a 5 star book

A great resource for any parent! May 24, 2005
We purchased the book after our daughter learned meditation in Lisa's program. We were truly amazed at the coping and calming techniques she learned as 2 year old. We have used the techniques in the book to help manage and enhance everyday life as well as for dealing with difficult situations (seperation, death, etc...). Lisa has made the process amazingly simple. It is an incredible tool for helping to connect with your child while providing them with some important skills.

Simple guidelines for setting up a meditation space Sep 09, 2004
In Baby Buddhas: A Guide For Teaching Meditation To Children, author Lisa Desmond draws upon her more than 25 years of experience and expertise teaching meditation to children ages 18 months to three years, and children preschool through eight grade, to instruct parents and care givers on how to go about teaching preschool-aged children on how to meditate. Simple guidelines for setting up a meditation space, learning specific terms, specific meditations for adults (sending love to a child, cherishing hope for world peace) and children ('OM', cleansing breath, catching blessings, and much more) fill this gentle and patient guide to balancing family and spiritual needs. Color photographs, creative ideas, and guidelines round out an all-around superb guide for parents.
