5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Parents and Kids
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2014

My preschooler has a hard time winding down before bed, but this book helps.

The story is short enough with few enough words on each page to keep younger children's attention.

As a bonus, it gives tired parents a way to simultaneously unwind with their kids after a long day. What parent isn't stressed and exhausted by bedtime? I feel great doing the deep breathing exercises with my son.

The one thing I don't like about this book is that the illustrations are a bit old-fashioned.

Overall, a great book and worth adding to your collection.

I bought this for my six year old. A simple way of teaching healthy breathing to a child. I also use it now with my three year olds when they are upset or in tantrum mode. I do the breathing with them when they are upset and it helps calm me down as well. Simple story that teaches an excellent relaxation technique we could all use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Calm your child and yourself
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2005

This book provides a much-needed way for parents and educators to introduce deep breathing to children as a simple and enjoyable way to relax the body/mind. It tells the story of a boy and a bear who climb opposite sides of a mountain, meet at the top and smile a greeting. The boy notices how nice the sun feels, how good it is to lie on the flat rock and how he likes to take deep breaths (counting 1-2-3-4). The bear playfully imitates the boy, with comforting repetitive text saying, "...so did the bear" after each of the boy's actions. They end up drifting off to sleep with the boy resting on the bear's belly, noticing how his belly goes up and down while he breathes. Simple, beautiful, brilliant.

Lori Lite's first CD, INDIGO DREAMS consists of her reading this story, complete with gentle [boy and bear] snoring at the end of the reading. My son often drifts off to sleep with them while listening to the CD at night. Also on the CD are three of her other relaxation stories. These books are available on amazon as well. Her CDs and curriculum, in addition to books and articles, may be found on litebooks.net.

I'm a parent looking for stress management for my tightly-wound little boy, a grownup still learning to manage my own stress, and an early childhood teacher hoping to help my students learn to relax themselves. These are excellent tools. I'm most grateful to Lori Lite. Highly recommended!

I absolutely love this book and I love anything by Lori Lite. But this was made in China. It smells very much like chemicals. This smell wont go away if I put it outside for years. I hope Lori could print this somewhere more responsible, because it's a great book! I had to return it the smell was so bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must-Have" For Any Teacher or Parent Wanting to Teach Conscious Breathing Exercises to Children
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2012
Verified Purchase
I am a kids yoga teacher that adores this book. It is the ONE book that I always recommend to all children's yoga teachers and parents. It is a wonderful way to introduce conscious, deep, calming breathing techniques for young children. I have used it in my yoga classes at the end of class with 3-7 year olds and they have enjoyed it immensely. We practice our belly breathing exercises along with the boy and the bear characters in the book and then lie down for Relaxation/Savasana. Thank you, Lori Lite!

Great book. Definitely for younger children, but awesome and perfect for tf-cbt. I actually have a polar bear puppet and stuffed animal that I have used with the book. The kids love it and return to their unit talking bout the book. If you work with young kids, add this to your tool box. There are even a few pages the kiddos can read, which always makes them feel more invested.

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!

This is a simple but carefully written story that provides a child-friendly introduction to breathing and relaxation techniques. I use it with the associated CD track to help children with ASD learn these valuable skills. The pictures, story and calm voice can work wonders.
