Spanish Edition of Listening with My HeartCuando Esperanza encuentra una piedrita en forma de corazón, ella la ve como un recordatorio para difundir la bondad y el amor en el mundo. Pero cuando la obra de la escuela no sale como ella había imaginado, ¿recordará a darse amor y bondad a sí misma? En el mundo competitivo de hoy en día, los niños a menudo internalizan el mensaje de que su valor está ligado a sus logros y que no cumplirlos es algo de lo que debería avergonzarlos, en vez de ser parte de la vida normal. Esto puede llevarlos a una conversación de autocrítica interna.Escuchando con Mi Corazón nos recuerda de la otra regla de oro: tratarnos a nosotros mismos con la misma amabilidad y bondad que le damos a los demás. Es un bello libro que toca los temas universales de amistad, empatía y autocompasión.¡Escuchando con mi Corazón es una maravillosa adición a cualquier biblioteca de la casa o la escuela! Incluye ejercicios de autocompasión y mindfulness para niños.
