The Power of Your Child’s Imagination by Charlotte Reznick, PhD.

Kids seem to be dealing with more and more stress these days. Problems crop up that I never had to think about during my childhood. Thankfully there are helpful books like The Power of Your Child’s Imagination: How to Transform Stress and Anxiety into Joy and Success by Charlotte Reznick.

A nationally recognized child educational psychologist and associate professor of psychology at UCLA, Reznick has created Imagery for Kids, which she has used for more than twenty-five years to help children reach their full potential.

The Power of Your Child’s Imagination will help your child thrive in an ever-changing and challenging world. Using the Nine Core Tools, parents are now able to apply Reznick’s principles in their own homes. Broken down into two sections, this book will explain what the Nine Core Tools are, the benefits of using them, and how you can harness your child’s imagination to transform her life.

The second part of this amazing book shows you how to put the tools to work, using examples from the author’s own practice to help guide you along. Reznick discusses how you can use the tools to tackle problems such as:

* Stress-induced headaches and stomachaches
* Phobias, panic attacks, and social anxiety
* Bed-wetting and sleepless nights
* Hurt, frustration, and anger

And so much more!

The author also provides tips for less stress and better parenting too. This is something that I truly appreciated, because I need to reduce my own stress levels before I can help my kids.

While I haven’t put these tools into practice yet, I am eager to, and hope that my daughters’ natural love of art will make this successful for our family.

If you’re looking for how you can better prepare your children to handle life’s daily struggles, then see how The Power of Your Child’s Imagination can help.

    It's Not Fair, Jeremy Spencer's Parents Let Him Stay Up All Night! by Anthony E. Wolf Ph.D.

    It's Not Fair Looking for a book that will help you through some of the most diffcult challenges of parenting children? Look no further than It’s Not Fair, Jeremy Spencer’s Parents Let Him Stay Up All Night! by Anthony E. Wolf, Ph.D.

    I received this book from my daughter’s school adjustment counselor. Having a strong-willed daughter and being strong-willed myself, I expressed concern over the battles we wage in our household each day. Why is it that she is so well-behaved at school, but the moment she comes home it’s like someone dropped the bomb?

    Through It’s Not Fair, I was able to catch glimpses not only of my daughter’s behavior, but also of my own. Already feeling like I was part of the problem, Wolf’s insight showed me the areas I need to concentrate on, areas that required me only to change how I handled the situation.

    In this book, Wolf discusses the “baby self” and how there remains a part of us that does not grow up. This “baby self” acts very differently from the “mature self”–the part of us that does grow up–who is able to handle stress, accept responsibility, and have self-control.

    Topics I found especially helpful were those on power struggles, consistency, dealing with whining, sulking, and temper tantrums, and sibling rivalry.

    It’s Not Fair, Jeremy Spencer’s Parents Let Him Stay Up All Night! is like a parent’s best friend: understanding, not judgmental, and filled with great advice. Perhaps the best part is that Wolf doesn’t insist you do things his way; he suggests what he has seen work in the past and shares his knowledge of why these parenting methods work. And he does it in such a way that you aren’t left feeling like a failure before he came along to save you. He just gives you the tools to create the more tranquil home you want.

    No parent should be without It’s Not Fair, Jeremy Spencer’s Parents Let Him Stay Up All Night!!
