Wonderful for young anxiety sufferers

My 4 year old son suffers from severe panic attacks, and because he is so young we have had a very difficult time helping him manage his attacks in a way that he understands. We have all of Lori Lites books & her CD, and they have helped us teach him proper breathing and relaxation techniques so well that when an attack begins we remind him to "breath like the bear" and he immediately begins his deep breathing. We have actually been able to lower his medication because of our success with your books. I would highly recommend any of Lori's products for any child, especially if they have an anxiety condition.

Best Bedtime Story Ever

I was at my wits end with putting my 5 year old to sleep. My neighbor recommended "A Boy and A Bear" to me and I couldn't believe the results. My son was finally able to calm himself down and get rid of his anxiety and fears. The way the boy shows the bear to do belly breathing is brilliant! I didn't know how to breathe for relaxation myself but it didn't matter. This book did all the work for me and I even learned how to breathe myself. I highly recommend this book for all children. I am now also using "Indigo Ocean Dreams" and "Sea Otter Cove". Sea Otter Cove: A Relaxation Story introducing deep breathing to decrease stress and anger while promoting peaceful sleep (Indigo Ocean Dreams)Now my son is also breathing with the sea otters! Great Fun!

Best Goodnight Story I ever read!

Now my child can calm himself down with this essential breathing technique. He followed along without me telling him what to do. Not only is he using this to fall asleep but also during the day to calm down. My whole family is breathing like A Boy and a Bear and my entire family is de-stressing and calm.We are now using Lori Lite's other 3 relaxation books. They all help!

Great nap time reading!!!!

My young child had lots of trouble settling down for a nap or even a quiet moment during the day. By using Lori Lite's book I was able to get my child to concentrate on breath, and breathing technque through her characters. Now we bring out the book when ever we need to relax.
