Goodnight, dear Body. A Soothing Bedtime Body Scan for Children and the Adults Who Read With Them (en Inglés) - Mahi Davide Janssen

Bedtime: What if this part of the evening became a ritual of gratitude for our most valuable companion: the body?

Goodnight, dear Body is a soothing, interactive bedtime body scan for children aged 4 to 8 and the adults who read with them. From head to toe, this book gently guides young readers and their grown-ups to say hello, say thank you, and say goodnight to every part of the body that made the day possible.

Each page invites the reader into a moment of mindful, gentle unwinding (also when the reader is feeling restless). This book invites the readers to soothe their body by simply becoming curious: greeting the head, the eyes, the ears, the mouth, the shoulders, the hands, the heart and belly, the feelings, the legs, the feet. Each part is met with wonder, gratitude, and a little pause to hear if the body wants to express something in return.

More than a bedtime story, this is an introduction to loving body awareness and the power of interactive & mindful slowing down. This ritual helps children develop a gentle and loving relationship with themselves from the very beginning. And for the adult reading alongside them, this is equally an invitation to land, to slow down, and to remember that their body deserves the same tenderness.

Written by Mahi Davide, holistic therapist and meditation teacher, Goodnight, dear Body was born from witnessing her clients and their often late-blooming relationship with the most valuable thing that makes living possible. It is through this gentle ritual that we get to realise early on: the body is not something to fix. It is someone to create a beautiful relationship with.

A perfect, soothing gift for families, mindfulness teachers, and anyone ready to make friends with their body, one goodnight at a time.
