Excellent Resource for Parents & Educators

First I will begin by listing the programs/CD's/books that I have purchased from Lite Books. 4 books: A Boy and a Bear, The Affirmation Web, A Boy and a Turtle and The Goodnight Caterpillar plus 5 audio CDs: Indigo Dreams, Indigo Ocean Dreams, Indigo Dreams: Garden of Wellness, Indigo Teen Dreams and Indigo Dreams: Adult Relaxation plus: Children's Stress Awareness Curriculum Designed for Youth Education. Next I will say "THEY ARE ALL AMAZING!" For 9 years I worked as an advocate for children in a homeless shelter for women and children. I was constantly challenged with finding resources that were short, effective, and held the attention of the children. I was able to find resources but not all in one spot, I had to piece a little of this and a little of that to reach a fully rounded program that worked. The tools that Lori Lite created within each book and each CD offer short, highly effective programs that hold the attention of children. And best of all it is a package deal! You do not have to pull from any other program because the tools that she gives you are all you need. I am now an HHP and use the books and CD's when working with children of any age to simply give them powerful tools that they can use in daily life and hopefully carry into teen and adult hood. In my opinion Lite Books offer the best resources available to the health and wellness of children on the market. Within my own life I use the CD's as a nightly staple within the bedtime process of my children. They have not been able to stay awake long enough to finish even one of the stories on the CD yet. That is how relaxing the CD's are. For myself I have to stay sitting up when tucking them in and listening with them because if I get comfortable I am waking up in the middle of the night still in my kid's room! During daylight hours and when my children are well rested I have worked each session on the CD's with them from beginning to end. Now when they are feeling overwhelmed, frightened, angry etc... I will see them use the techniques they have learned through Loris programs, they move quickly from the negative feeling to a positive approach and positive result. Lite Books offers professional and friendly customer service, with great shipping time. I am so grateful to have found this amazing resource and look forward to being one of their strongest professional advocates as well as personal customers!

Feel Good ,Relaxing Story!

A Boy and a Turtle is a wonderful addition to our bedtime routine. My kids love the rainbow and the fact they are just tickled that turtle is copying the boy as they learn to relax. My son said that the colors make him feel happy and my daughter wants to read it again. I personally feel my own stess levels drop as I read the story to them. The author takes a difficult concept(visualizing or imagining) and makes it simple.I have even reminded them to copy the turtle when we are in the car and things are getting loud. It works. Great stress management tool!

One Great Story!

I was confused by the last review that mentioned her daughter enjoys all 4 stories, but ordered A Boy and a Turtle based on my therapist's advice. I think the reviewer was referencing the Indigo Dreams Cd which has 4 stories on it(including this one). This book is one wonderfully relaxing story that has shown my child how to relax with the turtle by using this visualization technique. My son loves the story and asked for it whenever he is over stimulated, stressed or angry. It is easy to follow along, the illustrations are adorable and he falls asleep. What more can I ask for?

Easy children's relaxation

I am a stress consultant and work with children frequently. " A Boy and A Turtle" is the easiest, most effective way I have found to help children relax. This is one more "Winner" in the relaxation series created by Lori Lite. Her relaxation books and CD/Audio books all tell stories where the listener gets to follow along and implement proven relaxation technique with the characters. Kids love relaxing with the rainbow in the story. I am amazed at how children learn the technique of visualization without a lesson. This is an excellent way for children to manage stress, anxiety and fears. This book is destined to become a classic bedtime story that will be relaxing children through the next millennium.

A Fantastic Book for Kids

I am so pleased with this book and heard great things about the other books that Lori Lite has written. A Boy and a Turtle helped teach my child to visualize the things he wants to create in his life. He is very active in sports and this book has helped him develop his skills and mental game. Before each game he pictures in his mind the thing he wants to achieve during the game. He sees the success he is going to have and knows that his mind is so powerful that his body just performs the way he wants it to. Last week he hit a grand slam and told me after the game that he visualized hitting the ball over the fence. Its amazing! Other parents are asking how he has made so much improvement and I am torn whether to let them in on our secret. I just had to thank Lori Lite for writing these amazing books. I and my son are huge fans!
