Extremely Effective Relaxation Bedtime Story!

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!

only one problem...

i fall asleep each night while reading this to my children! they love it, i love it, and it works! both children ask for it at bedtime, during anxious times, or anytime they feel a need to take a break for a moment. highly recommended.

Interactive relaxation story

I am a stress consultant and work with children frequently."The Goodnight Caterpillar" is the "Goodnight Moon" for the new millennium. This is the only relaxation book I know that actually tells a story where the listener gets to follow along and implement a proven relaxation technique with the characters. Kids love this story and I am amazed at how the children learn the techniqueof muscular relaxation 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.

Another Great Book for Kids

My child was a ball of stress. She woke up worring about school. She came home woring about homework. She went to sleep worring about not sleeping well enough. Until this book... Lori Lite manages to take simple concepts and weave them with her creative magic. She takes a cute Caterpillar and teaches children how to relax and unwind and deal with stress and anxiety. The transition my daughter has gone through is amazing. I was almost at the point of considering medication to help her deal with anxiety but thankfuly her books came to the rescue. I hope Lori continues to write more books and I recommend all of her books and especially her CD Indigo Dreams for our children. Maybe she can write some for adults.

Kids Manage Stress and Frustration

I recently went on a search for tools to help my son better manage his behavior when angry or frustrated.This book has turned out to be a fantastic investment. My son loves the book and is now using the relaxation techniques intoduced in the story regularly. I highly recommend this book as an excellent resource for helping children learn to calm down when over-stimulated or angry. The idea that the child is teaching the caterpillar is a brilliant touch empowering children to be responsible for their own emotions and even being an example to adults. I also recommend Lori Lites other books and the companion CD "Indigo Dreams" and "Indigo Ocean Dreams".Indigo Dreams: Relaxation and Stress Management Bedtime Stories for Children, Improve Sleep, Manage Stress and Anxiety (Indigo Dreams)
