Become a ninja with 30 mindfulness practices to help kids ages 5–9 increase their focus, compassion, emotional balance, and body awareness--from experts in Japanese martial arts and mindfulness.

Are you ready to unlock the ninja within?

Train Your Mind Like a Ninja draws from martial arts concepts to explore how you can train the mind and body to act from a place of awareness and deliberate action to reach your full potential. While ninjas of the past may have been warriors, modern ninjas train their minds and bodies for peaceful purposes only, uncovering ways to become happier, healthier, and more confident in everything they do.

Each of the 30 cards is categorized to reflect the ninja values of Community/Connection, Body Awareness and Agility, Mental Awareness and Focus, Calm and Balance, Perspective and Perseverance, and Mental Flexibility and Agility. The deck is arranged in order of overall difficulty, from introductory mental focus and physical training at the start to more challenging emotional training to defeat your inner enemies. Master each of the cards to unlock your inner ninja and become a better student, athlete, family member, and friend.

“I love the beautifully illustrated Train Your Mind Like a Ninja card deck! The authors’ own ninja skills are apparent as they masterfully adapted the wisdom of mindful awareness for young minds, while preserving the power of the techniques. I’ll enjoy using these cards myself.”—Seth J. Gillihan, PhD, clinical psychologist and co-author of The CBT Deck for Kids and Teens and A Mindful Year


“Train Your Mind Like a Ninja is a cute, fun, and useful card deck for kids. Having worked with kids for years on emotional regulation, I know how important it is to have evidence-based relaxation strategies that actually work. Making it fun, like this card deck, means kids will actually use the skills that they desperately need. Reading through the deck, I kept picturing different clients who would love the cute illustrations, easy directions, and Ninja imagery. Practical and enjoyable!”—Kelsey Torgerson Dunn, MSW, LCSW, anxiety therapist and author of CBT Anger Management Skills for Teens With Anxiety-Driven Anger
