Imaginations: Fun Relaxation Stories and Meditations for Kids

Description

WINNER OF THE SAN DIEGO BOOK AWARD FOR CHILDREN’S NON-FICTION The ability to
relax is an essential skill in our hectic world today. Kids are shuttled from
home to school to after school activities and home again, often without
transition time or down time. We hope that children can lead happy, relaxed,
and calm lives, but often we neither teach them how to do this nor do we lead
by example. This book provides stories to help children learn to calm their
bodies and relax their minds. Wildly imaginative and whimsically joyful,
Carolyn Clarke’s guide is a wonderful tool for children to learn that the most
important spaces in life are often the quiet moments in between. The stories
and illustrations contained in this volume help children learn to calm
themselves and release the tension of their lives in a positive, healing
manner. A child’s ability to consciously relax their body and clear their mind
can help address a myriad of issues, such as anxiety, stress, and excessive
worry; sleep disorders, nightmares, and fear of the dark at bedtime; anger
issues; focus and concentration issues; special needs, including ADD, ADHD,
Aspergers, autism, and OCD; depression; low self-esteem; grief; and life
changes such as moving, divorce, or changing schools. Opening up worlds and
universes with evocative stories and vivid details that simultaneously calm
the mind, body and spirit, Clarke’s debut is an extraordinary aid to help
children not only tap into their inner calm, but to expand their imagination
to its outer limits—and beyond. Intended as a tool to use with the children in
your life, it is so much more: it is a skill that they can use for the rest of
their lives to improve, enhance, and maximize their quality of life. Unlike
any other book of its kind, Imaginations: Fun Relaxation Stories and
Meditations for Kids is the greatest gift you can give your child. Stories
