Publisher's Synopsis
Why doesn't your child listen to you when it's time to go to sleep? Is it a battle every night to try to be calm while going to bed? His dinosaur friends will help you and your son to leave everything out of the room and enter a world of peace before sleeping.
Is your child wild about dinosaurs? No one quite understands why so many kids go through a "dinosaur phase." It may be because they are extinct and although they may have been huge and hungry, they are harmless to a child since they no longer exist. These mysterious and powerful creatures interest many children and are a fun and exciting way to introduce relaxation, mindfulness and meditation. There is nothing as powerful as this to help re-focus, regulate and relax the human brain.
The benefits of mindfulness and meditation are many. You may notice any or all of the following:
- increased self-awareness
- increased confidence
- willingness to embrace challenges
- increased stamina and perseverance
- decreased anxiety
- improved positive mood
- improved social skills
Here you will find twenty-two engaging stories to help you begin this journey with the children in your life. Nightly reading time as part of the bedtime ritual, helps kids sort through some of their anxieties and relax for a high quality, restful sleep. There are stories for many personalities contained in this book. Your child might especially enjoy the guided meditations or the fact-based, informational tales. Experience a Triceratops camp out or find out all about a Stretchosaur. Listen as Daisy makes an unexpected friend or follow the flight of the ancient dragonfly.

Getting in touch with feelings and emotions, knowing our bodies, and encouraging discussion are all important parts of connecting with your child. A child who can accept their feelings and emotions without criticism or judgment is a more emotionally healthy human. The emphasis on self-acceptance through mindfulness can significantly raise self-esteem.
