Zoltan Dienes Mindfulness of breathing for children (and adults)

My 8-year old son Tenzin goes through "anapana sati" (as described in the sutta of that name, at least on one possible interpretation of the sutta). We have spent several months practicing this meditation, building up gradually each of the 16 steps, taking anywhere between 30 seconds and 15 minutes on a step, each time we practice. In this video we essentially just give instructions; so pause after each step to practice as long as suits you.
Here is a pdf of the presentation I used: http://www.lifesci.sussex.ac.uk/home/..."
For the application of these steps to walking meditation see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRI1S...
For mindfulness of body, feelings, and mind itself, developed in an inter-personal context (mindfulness of other people) see:

For the Sutta version of compassion meditation practiced by Tenzin see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6j0Kb...
For a Satipatthana body scan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd9W9...
For a lecture I gave University of Sussex undergraduates on Buddhism see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tAVm...
NB: It took me some time practicing and thinking about anapana sati to come up with this particular implementation. I was guided by the following thought: How can these 16 steps be a well structured way of practicing key Buddhist principles - with the simplicity and coherence clear enough I could teach an 8 year old (at least over some months of daily practice)? After all, Gotama was something of a genius; each step must be where it is for a reason. This is how I fitted the pieces together.
