Understand the rich tapestry of your child's inner world! With fewer inhibitions than adults, children eagerly share their dream life and visit their worst nightmares. But they often don't have the vocabulary to express their feelings. Open up the lines of communication and help youngsters tap into a joyous fount of creativity and a source of intellectual and social development. Using a variety of imaginative techniques, such as Dreamercises, children can safely explore and come to terms with their nightmares. Stimulate pleasant dreams by suggesting scenarios to "revisit" that night--perhaps from a story or a cherished, favorite event. Encourage awareness with the "Dream Finder," which gives parents questions that gently and positively guide a child to talk. The extraordinary color drawings will help them visualize and focus on their dreams. With illuminating real-life case histories that show just how much youthful dreams reveal and a dictionary of common images, you'll have a head start in assuring that your child has a happier, more fulfilled life. 144 pages (all in color), 8 x 10.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6-Well, not quite "everything"-but this wide-ranging browsers' delight does flit among a multitude of subjects related to the Earth, wildlife, people, and places. Each topical spread is a busy, text-heavy mix of small photos, paintings, and maps surrounded by flurries of explanatory paragraphs in various type styles, and finished off at the bottom with see-also references to other spreads. Regional maps in the final section expand to page size or beyond, framed by flags and statistical summaries. The lack of a clear division between the subject index and the unlabeled gazetteer is a potential source of confusion, but readers seeking just a quick bit of background on natural or man-made wonders, volcanoes, world religions, art and culture (one spread), great disasters, or a plethora of other terrestrial topics will be absorbed by this omnium-gatherum.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This was so much about creative parenting as well as dreams!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Your Child's Dreams (Paperback)
I bought this book as I thought it looked interesting and I'm fascinated by dreams. I'd never seen one on children's dreams so I thought I'd see how it worked with mine. I was pleasantly surprised to find it packed with sensitive real-life stories with lots of caring advice. If you're wondering about your parenting skills - and what parent doesn't? - then you'd be wise to buy this book by Dr. Spurr. You may find it eye-opening!
