Review
This combination of breathing exercises and visualization of colors provides an effective and creative way to explore relaxation with your child. ---Dr. Jodi DiNatale, School Psychologist
A Boy and A Turtle is the easiest, most effective way I have found to help children relax and an excellent way for children to manage stress, anxiety and fears. --- Dr. Susan, Maryland
A Boy and a Turtle is a wonderful addition to our bedtime routine. My kids love the rainbow and the fact they are just tickled that turtle is copying the boy as they learn to relax. My son said that the colors make him feel happy and my daughter wants to read it again. I personally feel my own stress levels drop as I read the story to them. The author takes a difficult concept(visualizing or imagining) and makes it simple. I have even reminded them to copy the turtle when we are in the car and things are getting loud. It works. Great stress management tool! - --Karen Annel
