Max is a developmental toy; with the emphasis on development. Balanced development is something we are passionate about as every child should, and can, better understand how their mind works. Max is a bear that plays guided mindfulness meditations and breathes along too. His guided mindfulness meditations are accessed by pressing his paws and are specially designed in length for the intended age range. Max also teaches children some of the most popular and powerful techniques taken from CBT, NLP, Positive Psychology and Self Compassion, which are integrated into the stories enabling children to understand these concepts as they see these things in context.
The most current and effective psychological techniques, delivered to children in the most accessible way. Contained in one bear and book series.
When we so often look back at our childhoods we think about how it was a much simpler time; free from the worries of adulthood and the competitiveness of employment, relationships and careers. But was it really? In reality children grow up at an alarming rate and are targeted and prepped for their comparative consumer lifestyles from toddlerhood. Much of childhood is spent saying “When I grow up”, unaware that when they reach the strains of adulthood or adolescence they will yearn for those years again. While this cannot be stopped, this time can in fact be appreciated and furthermore the mind can be trained to live and enjoy the “now” of the present moment. As this is all we have in reality. Not the imagined reality of the past or the dreams of the future, just simply the present moment.
In life we have choice; choice over what we want to have for dinner, choice over what careers we want and choice over our prospective partner. What most of us don’t realize is that we also have choice over how we feel.
Mindfulness classes, while growing in popularity, can be costly, time consuming. However, Max is the mindfulness teacher who is right in your home, who is also so portable he can be taken anywhere. He can be used during the day or even tucked up in bed at night, with books that, every day, build on the skills that they are subtly receiving through their practice and allows them to understand its applications in context.

Max's Mission
|
Max Mindpower is a bear on a mission, who, along with a book series, imparts his wisdom to children as they navigate and grow through the world.
As a result of modern living we are finding it increasingly difficult to make sense of ourselves and the world around us. People walk around today numbed and consumed with self comparison. The best news about this reality : we all feel the same. Max is designed to enable children to start on a journey to discover that inner sense of peace and self reference. Developing a good sense of "self" is one of the most beneficial things a child can have, as it will ultimately mean they develop their own internal compass and self confidence and, therefore, are not constantly looking to external sources for self validation. |

Max is the ideal developmental aid. He comes in two age ranges: 3-6 years and 6 + years. His paws come fully loaded with fantastic exercises which Max shows children how to use in everyday life.
Max's book series encourages children to develop a healthy emotional vocabulary. Through his books he shows children how to incorporate his teachings into their lives.

Learning to actively examine and discuss their emotions is an invaluable gift to children and one that is lifelong. As children grow and develop into socially coheasive animals they will be able to understand their own feelings and also the feelings of others. Our fast paced world forces us to search for constant gratification - for the “feel good” factor. This has unhealthy ramifications when it comes to relationships, romantic or otherwise, as it quickly forces us to push away people, who may not fit the media profiled bracket of friend or partner. Living in the present moment allows us to see things as passing occurances and to cherish these moments and these people for being just as they are; imperfect and perfect all at the same time.
"If every 8 year old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation"
-Dalai Lama
Max's aim is to impart positivity, empathy, calmness and self and external awareness in every child he meets. Meditation along with other techniques are integrated into his books and the exercises are accessed by pressing his paws.
Many psychological studies are conducted on success, in both adults and children; what these studies show is something society today misses out on and something which shapes young people today, in a harsh way. Society today measures results as opposed to effort. Often how much someone tries or improves at something, is ignored; therefore setting people up for constant comparison, disheartening them from trying again. Max shows children that while, we may be good at somethings and worse at others, that this is a normal reality of life. Something that should be echoed through childhood.
