Mindfulness & Kids

Post here if you have been practising for a while, and you are starting to get your head around what this is all about. Also post here if you are a long-term practitioner with something to say about the practice.

My kids are 12 years and 8 years old. Can I invite them for mindfulness? If so, how could I inspire them and what resources can I use?
Anyother advice you want to share for kids in this respect?

I have been teaching my 8 -yr-old for a year now. We do it very informally. We use insight timer to do a guided (or sometimes unguided) meditation before bed. I will start with my younger son when he gets to a similar age.

I'm always trying to teach them both informally too. They are still young, and I really don't want for mindfulness to become something onerous..
