A Boy and a Bear The Childrens Relaxation Book
Posted on Dec 31, 2008 under Book | No CommentA Boy and a Bear The Childrens Relaxation Book
A Boy and a Bear teaches young children how to relax and calm themselves. Written for children 3 – 10 years old, this book tells the story of a young boy who encounters a polar bear while they are both climbing a snow covered mountain. The boy and bear become friends and learn an important lesson in relaxation together. As the bear watches the boy breathing, children mirror their movements and learn valuable breathing skills to enhance their own relaxation. Children will not only enjoy the story, but will benefit by learning a self-calming technique to reduce stress, prepare for sleep, and improve self-confidence.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars This book is magic.
Having practiced yoga for several years I understand the power of breathing for relaxation, but I was stumped on how to teach my energetic, bouncing off the wall, 5 year old how relax himself to sleep. The Boy and the Bear has given me that tool. It’s simple, meditative and calming for us all. Tonight he said “Mom, let’s read the Boy and the Bear, it slows me down”.
5 Stars Relaxation concepts for the youngest kids
I am a mental health therapist with children and families. There are many books and resources to teach kids about relaxation and breathing, but few work for me to introduce the concepts to my younger clients – preschoolers and younger elementary school children. (Though it would also be good for older elementary schoolers.) The simplicity of this book is calming in and of itself. The children I see enjoy it that the little boy in the book is the expert, and they enjoy the expressions of the overwhelmed bear as the boy helps him to learn how to manage his emotions. The pictures are simple – not like the color-saturated pictures common to most children’s picture books now – but that’s also part of the book’s charm and calming influence.
5 Stars A must read for children
I just finished a four week Behavioral Pain Management program. The minute I got this book in the mail, I was aware of how vaulable this would be for children who are either experiencing pain themselves, or know someone who is.
It should be a part of every school library and every counselor’s office!
5 Stars Review by child psychotherapist
As a child psychotherapist I have used the adult relaxation CD as well as the Indigo Dreams children’s CD with Lori Lite books for many clients. I have been highly pleased with these Lori Lite products; I will continue to be a faithful returning customer! Children are able to relate to the relaxation techniques intoduced in these vividly written and illustrated books
5 Stars Wonderful Relaxation Book
My girls (ages 3 and 5) love this book. The can pretend to be the boy or the bear, and it helps them relax in a fun way.

Also, no I’m not doing this to spark some fanboy war. I fit were up to me I’d have all of them put in cages and send to Antarctica to ride some polar bear dick.12 Holiday THANK YOU Post Cards Polar Bear A Warm Thanks to You
