Summary

Peaceful Thoughts is an inspirational "self-discovery" book for children, ages four to ten, including 18 rhyming verses and colorful illustrations. Each poem is about a value that will help children develop self-awareness, confidence and thoughtfulness. A Parent's Guide is included on each page to provide questions and ideas that may be used to promote meaningful conversation. The book is designed to be interactive and is best read with a caring adult who affirms the values and ideas introduced, and, most importantly, affirms the child's sense of internal control over his/her own well being. A verse can be read, along with other age-appropriate stories, and used repeatedly as an exercise in positive thought and discussion. For parents who want to spend quality time with their children, Peaceful Thoughts is an essential tool! Book jacket.
