Stress-Proofing Your Child

by Sheldon Lewis

The stresses of new environments, dangerous schools, and changing emotional demands take a terrible toll on children. Stress-Proofing Your Child catalyzes the latest research on relaxation techniques, guided imagery, and affirmations, and imparts step-by-step instruction and innovative exercises to help children deal with such sensitive issues as parental divorce, schoolyard taunting, the birth of a sibling, hospital stays, and learning disabilities.  Sheldon and Sheila Lewis outline a comprehensive--and fun--program filled with clear, informative illustrations and fascinating case studies. Stress-Proofing Your Child is for every parent looking to help maintain a child's well-being through the tough times that they ultimately will have to confront.
