Abstract

This game is designed as a manual to provide a mindful experience for young children with the company and guidance of their caregivers. There are five categories of different targeting exercises included in the game: mind breaks, relaxation techniques, yoga and breathing, positive task-focused thinking, and talking about feelings. All exercises will be presented in the form of cards allowing the child or the parent to select one that feels essential. The categories mentioned before have different goals, even though they all share the component of helping the child deal with anxiety.
