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)

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.

Illustrated in full color. Anthony always does everything he's supposed to,from eating his spinach to wearing his raincoat--even when it's not raining!Then one day, Anthony cracks from the strain and, with one hiccup, becomes ahorrible monster who rants, raves, and won't wear his raincoat no matter hownicely he's asked. 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.

A well written book my seven year old granddaughter could read by herself, and copy the little girl in the book by making a "magic wand" to ward away the bad dreams at night. I also thank the author for including into the story how important it is for the child to talk about the dreams during the day with adults. This book was exactly what I was hoping for ! Thank you Ted Lobby so much!

Don't Pop Your Cork on Mondays: The Children's Anti-Stress Book Review

I am a counseling intern working with a head start type program that works with parents and preschoolers. I used this book to teach the children and parents about stress management! The book teaches children breathing techniques, guided imagery, and progressive muscle relaxation (all stress reducing activities that are used for adults).
For preschoolers, I skipped over some of the big words, but it has great illustrations and comparisons! It takes a difficult to understand concept and makes it understandable and managable for children.

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.
