It seems that no matter how conscience parents are, we will find that even our very young children have stressful experiences which can cause pain and anxiety.We cannot always protect them but we can always encourage their awareness of the experiences which naturally bring pain and stress.We can help children to recognize and name their stressful feeling:worry, fear, hurt, sadness, exclusion, disappointment, guilt, frustration, jealousy, powerlessness, inadequacy, and embarrassment.We can help children to recognize the physical and mental signs of stress in themselves and, most importantly, we can encourage them to take control of their ability ease their own tension.Relax may be written for children but it will do its best work when adults and children use it together.It will give adults the simple, clear language to speak to young children about stress and stress relief.Yet, it is state of the art human psychology from a knowledgeable and sensitive child-development expert.The last section of the book begins, "What can you do to make yourself feel better?"It is a practical guide which is useful for human beings of all ages.It is particularly appealing to children because the relaxation exercises are presented in the form of games.

Anthony, the Perfect Monster (Step Into Reading. Step 2 Book) Review

Anthony, the Perfect Monster (Step Into Reading. Step 2 Book)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Angelo DeCesare validates feelings real kids have by allowing his main character, Anthony, to be angry, sad, lonesome and happy - whatever the appropriate emotion is at the time.
As a reading specialist, I have read this book with elementary school children. They find Anthony to be a very engaging character. They love when he turns into a monster and goes to school. They easily relate to being teased by other students because they are different.
The book is great for initiating converstions about feelings and appropriate and unacceptable reactions to how one is feeling.

When he turns back into a little boy, Anthony discovers thathis family and friends still love him, because whether he's a perfect kid or aperfect monster, he's always perfectly himself.

Nobody's Perfect: A Story for Children About Perfectionism Review

Nobody's Perfect: A Story for Children About Perfectionism
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Though written for young people ages 8-12 (grades 3-6), Nobody's Perfect: A Story for Children About Perfectionism is more than a storybook; it directly addresses a very common psychological problem among both kids and adults - the compulsion to be perfect. Young Sally Sanders feels like a failure if she can't be the best; as a result she procrastinates, avoids new experiences, and relentlessly compares herself to other. Her teachers and mother try to help her overcome her inferiority complex, and she gradually learns the fun of relaxing and trying out new things without worrying so much about being the best. "Sally was surprised to hear her mom say that it was important to work hard and have fun... 'But I might not be any good at soccer,' Sally added. It was the real reason she didn't sign up. She felt embarrassed to admit that she might not be good at something... 'That's okay,' Mrs. Sanders assured her. 'Imagine all the fun you'll miss if you let that stop you.'" The thoughtful handling of an important real-life issue makes Nobody's Perfect highly recommended, and an absolute must-have for children's grade school and public library collections. Nobody's Perfect is also available in a paperback edition.

I fell in love with Lori Lite's books from the first time I saw them. They were exactly what I had been searching for since I began conducting psychotherapy with children. Teaching children visualization and relaxation techniques has often been a difficult feat until I began using books such as Bubble Riding and CDs such as Indigo Dreams, both Lori Lite creations. This book in particular has been integral in my treatment of anxiety related to sleep and overcoming other nighttime fears. It has also helped with school and social anxiety and pain management. I recommend all of her books and CD's very highly! -Summer Sullivan, Ph.D.

Cassandra's Angel Review

Cassandra's Angel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Cassandra's Angel is the touching and inspiring story of a child who truly wants to please - as most children do - but is constantly being given the message that she just can't do anything right.
Cassandra is truly everything that a little girl should be: delightful, beautiful, inquisitive, creative, intelligent, and imaginative. However, Cassandra doesn't know that. She thinks of herself as a child who just can't do anything right, because the adults in her life (who are suppose to know these things) keep sending her that message by the way they speak to her.
When her room needed to be picked up, her mother said that Cassandra was a messy girl. Cassandra stored that message in her mind...she was a messy girl.
When her art teacher told her to paint a picture of a house and a tree with seven red flowers and one yellow bee, she started by painting a magnificent tree that took all the room - none was left for the bee. Her little painting took on a life of its own and colorful images began to flow onto the canvas, as she became lost in her own imagination. Instead of admiring the beauty, talent, and self- statement of Cassandra's painting, her teacher scolded her and said she was incorrigible. Cassandra stored that message in her mind...she was incorrigible.
As this story unfolds Cassandra finds comfort, and learns a special secret about herself, from an unexpected source - her very own Angel! A truly beautiful one too! One who comes complete with everything a little girl thinks of when she thinks of angels: lovely soft wings, a golden crown, and a brilliant wondrous light. And what was the secret? It was the truth - the truth of what Cassandra really was.
This beautifully illustrated book, and the lessons found within its pages, will affect change and inspire parents and children everywhere. Perhaps the next time you speak to your child, you will speak as if the very Angels were listening.

This wonderful book by Lori Lite offers children the chance to learn relaxation skills and a postive psychological outlook like no other work I am aware of. The beautiful illustrations and engaging dialogue surpass any other resources I have come across in my field of psychology. I look forward to utilizing this book and Lori's other products in my practice. A trial run with my own children was effective and left them asking for more.
