By practising with the guidance of an ancient but wise old squirrel called Old Ma, children, in company with the young kits, may learn to pause and ground themselves in the present moment, and in time, learn to support themselves when feeling stressed or worried.
A comprehensive introduction to the practicalities of smoothly and effectively introducing Mindfulness for Kits into your school and classes.
Hobb was always in trouble, but he didn't understand why. He just kept losing his temper and going wild but what did they expect! After all, he was a young squirrel.
Each day, Hobb had to go and see Old Ma. His mum insisted.
Hobb, however, pretended that he hated going particularly to his mates who would make faces at him, point to one of his eyes and pretend to pull it out. It was true that he would like to be playing with them, but he found Old Ma fascinating.
Hobb’s sister was a member of the Squirrel Alert Squad which meant that she and her friends where given the task of noticing and reporting to senior squirrels any important changes to their
home, the forest.
This might include the arrival of new animals which could be harmless to squirrels or indeed very dangerous.

Hobb had, for some reason, kept very quiet about Old Ma’s friendly ways leaving Si very anxious as his mind made up stories about her terrible scars and frightening eyeball which made him want to blink each time he saw her
