Order Verbal First Aid the Book

This is a unique time in the history of humanity and the possibilities that face us.

No other generation has been this focused on the psychological and physiological welfare of its children. No other generation has been as willing to adjust its lifestyle, its priorities, or its values to give its children comfort. No other generation has been as willing to invest in helmets, car seats, safety harnesses, leashes (for use with children in malls), or custom-designed developmental programs.

We want to give them the best we can while our children are still in the nest and help them to fly safely out on their own. We want all that, and we’re asking for more information all the time. We’re reading about it piece by piece, with one book about emotional development, one about physical first aid, and one about nutrition or toilet training.

Every generation wants something better for their children.

What makes this time unique in human history is that the “something” is not a bigger house or a better car. It’s a world in which our children can be more confident, compassionate and capable of participating in their own healing. We want their sense of safety to come from inside themselves.

Verbal First Aid for Children is designed to minimize the physical and emotional effects of fear, pain, and life’s other challenges as they are occurring to help their healing in the present and keep these events from negatively affecting the future.  It teaches us how to speak to children to facilitate self-healing. It helps us use words and images to change the way a hurt is healed, whether it is a broken bone or a broken heart. From this, children will gradually learn to activate their own healing systems and recover or grow through difficult times into strong, vibrant, fulfilled adults.

And once children learn these techniques for themselves, they have them for life.  It is to these goals that we bring our knowledge and experience of language, children, and emotional and physical healing.
