Nightlights

Encouraging a child to meditate might at first seem an unlikely proposition Ð but in fact meditation, if approached in an inventive and appealing manner, brings enormous benefits to children. It can calm their anxieties, build their self-esteem, teach them the values of quietness and thoughtfulness, and help them grow as balanced, well-adjusted individuals. This book is written for children beween the ages of 4 and 8, and is a collection of 20 narrative-based ÔmeditationsÕ for an adult to read aloud. Each story begins with the child taking a magic lantern down the Enchanted Path É and discovering a whole new world of the imagination. An introduction by Professor Fontana explains to the parent key skills for working interactively with the child on both the stories and the superb full-page illustrations that accompany them. Nightlights will both comfort and inspire your child Ð and help him or her tap into their boundless creativity.
