Guided Imagery with Children
Successful Techniques to Improve School performance
and Self-Esteem
Sara Berkovits
A remarkable resource for parents and teachers
Do you have a disruptive child in class or home--a child who neglects homework, comes unprepared for school, fails to finish assignments, vies for attention, fights with other kids, and acts as the class clown?
If everything you’ve tried so far has failed, why not try something different? Guided visualization with children is a new approach that brings proven results. Children who see themselves as failures are guided to transform negative images into positive ones. In this way they can successfully reverse many years of discouragement and disillusionment.
Guided visualization takes little time to learn, and results are seen almost immediately. Just minutes a day can make a major improvement in the classroom or at home and save your sanity.
Guided Imagery With Children is a complete handbook, which teaches you how to reduce:
- Disruptive student behaviors
- Failing grades
- Low self-esteem
- Antisocial conduct and poor self-control
- Lack of responsibility
Creating in their place:
- A calm classroom/home environment
-
Motivated, self-confident, resourceful students
- More time on task
- Improved grades
