As a Counsellor, Hypnotherapist, and Life Coach, I help clients find solutions to their problems, or more accurately, I help equip clients with tools so they become a better and more capable version of themselves.
It occurred to me that it would be a great idea if I could help children develop these tools too, so I put my mind to work on how I could best do that.
I am pleased to announce that I have written a series of children's books (29 so far), which all follow a certain theme.
The main characters each have a problem that is either happening to them or around them. Either alone or with the help of others, they seek out a way to move forward and overcome the obstacle that is in their way.
In these books, I also include therapeutic questions for the story to pause and for the reader to explore what emotions the character in the book might be feeling at that moment, and what possible things or options they have available to them.
I will be releasing a new book every six weeks, and the illustrations are really beautiful too.
The first of the 29 books are now available on Amazon, and is called,'The Squirrel That Lost Its Nut'.
This enchanting children's book invites young readers (ages 6-10) to join an excitable Grey Squirrel on an emotional rollercoaster through the woods. Faced with the challenge of a forgotten nut burial spot, the squirrel learns valuable lessons in patience, composure, and teamwork with the guidance of a wise Owl.
Why I Wrote It: As a therapist, I crafted this story to help children navigate the complex landscape of emotions and problem-solving.
The narrative not only engages young minds but subtly introduces therapeutic insights. The excitement, frustration, and joy experienced by our furry friend become stepping stones for children to become resilient problem solvers.
Therapeutic Elements: "The Squirrel That Lost Its Nut" is more than a bedtime story—it's a tool for parents and caregivers to spark conversations about emotions. By weaving therapeutic principles into the whimsical narrative, the book aims to guide children in developing crucial problem-solving skills.
Bonus: 10 Fascinating Squirrel Facts: As an added treat, the book concludes with ten intriguing facts about squirrels. This bonus section not only enhances the educational value, but also deepens the connection between young readers and the charming woodland characters.
Uncover the magic of "The Squirrel That Lost Its Nut" and foster a love for learning and problem-solving in your child.
