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.

The Littlest Owl Review

The Littlest Owl
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this story! As the youngest of 2 siblings who are about 10 years my elders, I could relate when thinking back to my childhood. This is a great book for any child who has siblings, but especially for the youngest child, who might struggle to do the things older siblings can do. It also has warm, cozy, beautiful illustrations that move along with the child-centered story. There is a scene of great suspense in which The Littlest Owl must overcome apprehensions and fears. One of my favorite children's books.

Deep inside a willow tree, three newly hatched owlets curiously examine the fourth, quiet egg. Is there an owl in there, they wonder. When at last the fourth owlet struggles free, he doesn't look much like the others.
Dumpy, small, and downy white, he is left behind while his siblings learn to fly. No matter how hard he tries, he can't quite do it. "I will," he says. "Just you wait and see!"
Will the littlest owl ever grow big and strong enough to fly from the tree?
From the illustrator of five Book Sense Children's Picks comes the perfect story for any child who is a little nervous about venturing too far from home.

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

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

Squeek dreams of adventures, but is too afraid to leave his bubble of safety. So the bubble decides he needs a nudge and leaves him. Poor Squeek, what will he do? Why venture out into the world of course.
You'll find some absolutely beautiful illustrations done in watercolor of Squeek and his bubble. The story is told in a rhyming voice using words a child can understand. Children often are a bit afraid to venture out into the world just like Squeek. A strange school, activity, or just being without the comfort of mommy and daddy can be a big deal. This book is a wonderful starting point to discuss Squeek's fears and to explore a child's fears of leaving their bubble.

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.
