About The Book
The Dream Box
As we know, sleep problems can cause numerous other negative issues in both adults and children. They can take a serious toll on a person’s mental and physical health. Your mood, job performance and relationships could all potentially suffer from lack of or intermittent sleep.
The Dream Box tells the story of a second-grade girl who is having sleep issues. It first becomes noticeable to her teacher who contacts her students’ parents and the school counselor. The counselor, after speaking to the little girl, the teacher and mother, comes up with a plan to solve the problem. The technique illustrated in this book was used successfully numerous times by the author in dealing with students suffering from the same problem.
The story behind the book The Dream Box
Another book from “The Guidance Series”. If you are a parent, grandparent, teacher or counselor eventually you may have to deal with a child having sleep issues. Be they trouble getting to sleep, nightmares or whatever, the technique described in this book may be helpful. My wife, as an A.C.S.W., used this method helping our sons get to sleep when they were younger. I simply “borrowed ” it from her to use with any of my students that had sleep problems, usually successfully.
The Guidance Series
Solutions to Specific Childhood Problems
Books in “The Guidance Series” are meant to be read to children by parents, caretakers, school counselors or teachers. After the reading there would hopefully then be a discussion of what the book was about and what should be learned from the story.
The books in this series fall into two categories – problem solving or problem prevention:
- The problem solving generally deal with a specific issue [divorce, stealing ,sleep issues, etc.]
- The problem prevention stories are meant to be more educational in nature and teach skills used to avoid problems in the first place [personal space, bully proofing, making and keeping friends, etc.]
All the books in this series are about real issues I was involved in helping elevate or social skills I taught my students as their school counselor.
During my career I had many books I would read to my students to help teach them important lessons about such things as manners, responsibility, etc.. I had a small library in my office for that purpose and I also used that to loan parents and teachers books on various topics to read to their students or children.
I would suggest to my fellow elementary school counselors adding the books in this series to their personal or school library. You never know when one of them might come in handy and, compared to many books I purchased , they are not very expensive.
