Question 1

Is The Mindfulness Family in Kindle Unlimited?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Kindle Edition is enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, so a KU subscription reads it at no extra cost. The paperback and hardcover editions are sold separately on the Book page, if your house prefers paper.

Question 2

Is the book secular, or does it lean religious?

Accepted Answer

The book is deliberately secular — no scripture references, no prayer, and no spiritual posture to perform. Dr. Rita wrote it for the plural kitchen table, and you can read more about that on the About page. Parents who already meditate will find the vocabulary familiar but gently de-formalized; parents who don't will find a starting ritual that doesn't require one.

Question 3

What age range is the book written for?

Accepted Answer

The ten-step Family Mindfulness Practice grows with the children in the room — most of the steps land well between ages 4 and 12, with notes for the tween years. The book itself is for parents; you read it, and the practice shapes a household your kids are part of. The Book page walks through each step so you can see what fits your week.

Question 4

Does the book take a stance on screen time?

Accepted Answer

Step four is titled “A limit, not a lecture.” The book does not call for a household without screens — it offers a single sentence to use at the kitchen table when the daily argument lands. Parents tell us it's the chapter they return to most, and you can skim it on The Book page before you decide.

Question 5

How long does the daily practice take?

Accepted Answer

Most evenings the practice runs about ten minutes — a minute to settle, a breath, a name for what's happening, and the gratitude close. A weekly family sit stretches the time to twenty, and it's optional. The book was written for the version of a Tuesday a parent actually lives, not for a retreat.
