Summary: A great resource for parents to help their children relax!
Review: This book gives excellant information about how stress affects children. The facts were current and based on the author's research. The book also provided practical solutions for parents to use in the home setting. My children loved practicing the easy and fun activities that helped them use their imagination and taught them progressive muscle relaxation.

Summary: Just right relaxation tool
Review: This book offers many wonderful tools to help children relax, reinforce their value, and visualize a fantastic episode of imagination. It is organized and cross referenced which makes it easy to quickly find just the right message of the day. I teach yoga to 5th graders who now beg for "relaxation at the end of class". Some of the kids have ADHD, autism, and other learning differences. This has been one tool that will never get old or redundant. It spans a broad age range. I have coordinated some of the stories a week before big achievement tests which seems to help the kids with a bit of empowerment. Nothing speaks to the success of my class like having children ask to borrow my books, DVDs, or my music. I would like to know of a better book or another book like this one since it has been such a huge hit with everyone.
