The Goodnight Caterpillar: A Children's Relaxation Story to Improve Sleep, Manage Stress, Anxiety, Anger (Indigo Dreams)(Hardcover) Review
User Submitted The Goodnight Caterpillar: A Children's Relaxation Story to Improve Sleep, Manage Stress, Anxiety, Anger (Indigo Dreams)(Hardcover) ReviewsDecember 2, 2008 versatile I use this book with clients (child and challenged adults) in psychotherapy, as well as with my 4 and 6 yr. old children. The simple relaxation techniques are clear and accessible and help with the management of anxiety. The illustrations are inviting. The book is one I reach for often and recommend to other therapists and parents. November 10, 2008 An excellent source to promote peaceful sleep! This is a truly WONDERFUL book! My 8 year old son loves it (we bought it when he was7). It's tough to relax and unwind after a long day at school and we wanted something to help him do just that before going to bed. He unwinds soooo much after reading this book ~ you can see the stress leaving his little body! It helps mom and dad too! Muscle relaxtion is essential in promoting relaxation ~ we have found he wakes up less frequently during the night. It's wonderful to have him be able to read this book himself, should he feel the need, if he awakens during the night (or any other time). A super book! November 10, 2008 Easier Bed times!! My youngest daughter age 6 has Sensory Processing Intergration, along with Anxiety. Her Anxiety can keep her from doing things she really wants to. Going to bed has always been an issue in our home. She becomes very aggitated and anxious at bedtime. I bought the book "The Goodnight Catapillar" and it has helped alot. She has learned to relax her body in bed as the Catapillar does in the book. The pictures are beautiful and she actually catches things I as her mother don't such as in each page as the catapillar relaxes his hands become straight and relaxed. I would reccomend this book to anyone whose child has a hard time going to bed at night! October 1, 2008 Five year old helped! I bought this book for my five year old son, who has anxiety disorder. He was having difficulty sleeping at night, due to anxiety about the next days' events (school, soccer, etc). We read this book together each night and he says he can feel himself relaxing, "just like the caterpillar in the book, mom!" He's sleeping really well most nights and his teacher says he uses the deep breathing techniques at school when things seem overwhelming for him. The story line is pretty basic and if you can pair this with actually growing caterpillars, the book really comes to life. It's age appropriate, too, with something for kids of all ages. I even relax while I read it! August 14, 2008 Great book for kids who worry My boys ages 6 and 8 love this book. We talk about about how to relax when feeling nervous or scared about something. Kids today worry about so many things. It's nice to see Lite's books showing ways to manage stress in children. February 23, 2008 Goodnight Catepillar means a good night for Mama My recent purchase of The Goodnight Catepillar by Lori Light was prompted by my 2 yo daughter's difficulty finding sleep at the end of the day. Since receiving the book, I find the nights we choose "the Catepillar book" result in quicker, deeper sleep for her. As an added bonus, my husband finds 10-15 mins relaxation too as he and my daughter lay side by side to relax. I recommend it to 2+ with the caveat that the 2 yo will have difficulty embracing the whole concept of breathing and relaxing but will like the tone and pace of the story. January 2, 2008 Real Relaxation Tools for Kids I love this author I have almost all her books and cds I gave all the kids in my family her books and cds this year my niece cant wait to get home from school to listen to her cds and all the parents were thrilled to actually have a fun way to help their kids learn about relaxation. June 8, 2007 The Goodnight Caterpillar As a mother of a 9 year-old ADHD daughter, I found this story to be an excellent way to teach relaxation techniques. My daughter is always rushing through her homework assignments, chores and school projects. This unique story teaches children to slow down and use the same relaxation and stress management techniques for their everyday projects and life experiences as the turtle used in this story. I find it so difficult to select good stories for my daughter that will keep her focus and attention. "The Goodnight Caterpillar" has all the qualities that I look for. The delightful water color illustrations, excellent choice of vocabulary, and captivating story line is presented in an easy to read format that my daughter loves to hear over and over again. This book would make a great gift for any child as it teaches important life skills. January 25, 2007 The Goodnight Caterpillar My 2 sons ( and I ) enjoy this story every single night. They never get tired of hearing it and I never get tired of reading it. I have a 7 year old who suffers from severe food allergies and deals with a lot of stress on a daily basis, this book has done wonders for him. Not only is it a great bedtime story that helps them relax ( me too... ) it teaches a lesson that they can use throughout their lives. I highly recommend this book to every parent. Your child WILL love it, and you will too. November 9, 2006 I prefer A Boy and A Bear This is kind of cheesy. I prefer Lori Lite's "A Boy and A Bear" (book) or Indigo Ocean Dreams for Children (CD).
