A note from Sean
Try this today. Before you plan the hunt, try the pebbles yourself. Sit with the four pebbles to your left. Breathe in and out three times, then pick up each one in turn and picture what it stands for: a flower, a mountain, clear water, space. Set each to your right when you finish with it, and notice how your body feels afterward. Then you will know what you are inviting your child into. When it is done, ask the worksheet’s last question together: how will we take this into our days?
