5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Children and Adults, July 18, 2007

By	John Ferderer (Lacey, WA USA) - See all my reviews

I recently experienced the ability of this book at a grief camp held for the children of deceased military members. During the weekend there are few times when the kids actually sit still but the exercises in this book had the ability to get these kids to not only sit still for a while but seemed to have a relaxing effect on many of them. Since each child is matched with an adult, there were several adults in the room and they were all encouraged to participate with the kids. You could see in their faces at the end that they were much more relaxed. Any one who is looking for an activity that will create a break from school or other activities with kids or during meetings or other stressful activities for adults will find this book to be extremely useful.
