The Stories, Music and Imagery process offers several mechanisms for working with high energy children as well as children who suffer from stress. Relaxation and being able to effectively quiet themselves are tools which children can carry with them throughout their lives and will benefit them more and more as they enter the rigors of high school, college and work life.
Relaxation is a skill that can be learned and will serve your child well throughout life. Stories, Music and Imagery offers several effective relaxation techniques. Each time a child practices the techniques of relaxation, it can become easier. Children can learn to be quiet and listen deeply.
This process is very effective in stress reduction. The children will learn to relax their muscles and their whole physical body. They will also learn to quiet their minds. When their minds are quiet and freer from worry, they can look at challenging situations from a different perspective. In this way, children can also find creative solutions to the situations that are causing them stress.
Lessons learned with Linda can be reinforced at home or even at school by following the guides and suggestions in Linda's first book Stories, Music, and Imagery: A Doorway to a Child's Self Esteem.
