The Light Giver

In a world where children and teens are suffering from depression, anxiety, bullying, and alarming suicide rates, are you frightened about your children's emotional health and well-being?

Do you wish you had an effective way to prepare them for the emotional challenges they will face?

You've come to the right place. This book offers an easy, enjoyable way to address your children's emotional needs when you spend a few minutes of quality time each day and simply read them a story.

The Light Giver and Other Stories to Raise Emotionally Healthy Children is a collection of 22 children's stories that promote healthy Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills in children. Each story addresses one core value or life lesson and touches upon others as well. Some stories cover such topics as handling fear, disappointment, discouragement, guilt, and envy. Others stress the importance of patience, kindness, and compassion, honesty, respect, integrity and the personal fulfillment that comes from helping others.

Discussion questions and a helpful list of vocabulary words are included with each story. A companion book, The Light Giver Stories Workbook: Activities and Lessons for Social Emotional Learning, is also available. The workbook contains easy-to-follow activities and lessons to reinforce the topics in this book and help you raise kind, confident, compassionate children.
