After reading an article on the benefits of meditation with kids it gave me an idea. My grandson is visiting right now. And as with any 6 year old he is highly energetic and getting him to settle down at night becomes a task. Knowing that getting such a young energetic child to meditate twice a day may be too much to ask. So I tried visualization with him at bed time. Sunday and Monday night he picked the beach to focus his mind on while I scratched his back and fell asleep within 15 minutes. Last night I let him watch tv and it took 2 hours for him to fall asleep. So I tried it again this evening and we picked a snow covered mountain and streams. He was down for the count in 10 minutes even with Paco jumping in the be with us. He asked me "is that Paco" and I said yep he just jumped in the river we are admiring. He chuckled and fell right to sleep. You guys have got to give this a try and let me know how it works.
