Stressed?

September 3, 2010 in Sanity, Stress by jackstewart | No comments

Are you stressed? And what kind of stress are we talking about? Your kids might find it stressful to be deprived of their mobile phones for an hour.

No, we are talking about deep, lifetime acquired physiological stress. The kind most people are unaware of until they go down with illness, have a serious accident or ‘lose the plot.’

That’s the bad news. The good news is you can let it go. In our first book we gave you a whole range of tools and techniques to do so. When The Coaching Parent Companion comes out, you will find a few more.

Do you have beliefs that limit you? You have [harmful, even traumatic] memories from childhood [and even futher back] that remain in your cells. They need to go.

Before you get your hands on The Coaching Parent Companion, check this out www.successorstress.com. You might find some respite.

The power of imagination

April 8, 2010 in Imagination by davidmiskimin | No comments

We gave Aiden, our 6 year old grandson, a Power Rangers book to read when he stayed over recently.  This is the same boy who is unbeatable at Wii Ten-pin bowling – I don’t stand a chance.  He also enjoys playing with a cut-down laptop computer, that can’t access the Internet, yet looks as though it could pilot a spaceship to Mars!  Laura my wife and I were amazed at what happened.  The book never left his side, whether at the meal table, sitting on the floor, or when in bed.  He loved it – why though?  Well it had brilliant graphics and on every page asked the reader questions that stirred his imagination.  The clincher though was the cut-out Power Rangers mask.  He transformed when he wore it – which was almost all the time.  This even included trying to go to sleep wearing it! 

What a wonderful reminder.  As Jack will tell you, I say there are contemporary approaches and then there is the classical method.  On all counts stimulating a child’s imagination is the latter.
