Others Working in the Field
The field of those interested in practicing mindfulness with children and families is rapidly growing. It would be hard to maintain a complete list of resources on this website, but there is a Resource Forum within the Mindfulness Together online community set up for that purpose. The intention of the Mindfulness Together Resource Forum is to create a dynamic, up-to-date list of resources for those looking to learn more about practicing mindful awareness with children, teens and families. We encourage you to add your recommendations to the Forum.
I've also listed on this page a few pioneers with whom I have worked and for whom I have high regard. This page is far from an exhaustive list of those working in the area, but it's a place to begin your own exploration into the strong work that is in progress now. Many of those listed below are members of the mindfulness together online community - we've linked to their comment walls so that you can contact them directly.
