Sit with Me Meditation for Kids in Seven Easy Steps

Meditation made simple, playful, and perfectly kid-friendly.

Sit with Me transforms the ancient practice of meditation into a delightful adventure that children can actually grasp—and giggle through. Written by Carolyn Kanjuro, this charming guide breaks down the seven-point meditation posture into playful, memorable rhymes that make learning to sit still feel like pure fun.

Picture this: your child sitting with a spine straight like coins stacked on a plate, shoulders back like a vulture in flight. Through adorable illustrations and gentle verse, Justa Bug walks young readers through each step of proper meditation posture—from the crown of the head all the way down to the soles of the feet. It’s accessible, encouraging, and wonderfully free of intimidation.

What makes this book special is how it meets kids exactly where they are. They can squat like a frog or lounge like a cat, but when they’re ready to sit like a buddha, they’ll have a trusted guide right beside them. The approach is rooted in authentic Buddhist practice while remaining completely welcoming to families of all backgrounds.

Perfect for:

• Parents introducing mindfulness practices at home
• Teachers creating calm classroom moments
• Anyone seeking to help children develop focus and inner peace
• Families building meditation practices together

With a little practice and this sweet companion, everyone in your household can learn to meditate easy and free. Because sometimes the best gift we can give our children is the ability to simply sit—and breathe.
