Dr. Jeffrey L. Brown provides parents with useful suggestions for teaching children how to channel their own imaginations to calm their fears and banish the bogeyman!
The childhood years are fraught with situations that bring about fear and apprehension in children, whether it's a visit to the doctor or merely going to bed at night. In this simple guide, Dr. Brown explains the essential techniques of Imagination Training, an innovative method of using a child's own vivid imagination as a coping mechanism to reduce both physical and emotional discomforts. He offers age-appropriate solutions to a wide range of childhood situations, including "The Magic Glove" to alleviate a toddler's fear of a doctor's needle and "The Takealong Hero" to address a youngster's more complex anxiety about starting school or overcoming shyness in social situations.
Whatever the situation, Imagination Training can help your child to:
— cope with real or perceived fears
— improve self-confidence and performance at school and at play
— relieve physical and emotional stress and distress
Along with Julie Davis, a regular contributor to parenting magazines, pediatrician Jeffrey L. Brown shows parents that the most powerful tool to help allay childhood fears and tears lies in a child's own imagination.
Better than a night light, this simple and problem-specific guide tells how to use a child's imagination as a tool for coping with stress and dealing with deep fears. Pediatrician Jeffrey Brown shows parents that a spoonful of sugar is in every child's mind, there to help the medicine go down.
