It's never too early to use flower remedies to correct negative emotional states and begin fostering harmony and balance, the birthright of every child. The first guide to using safe and gentle Bach flower remedies with children, this friendly, easy-to-use text will help parents care for their children's well-being on a daily basis. The author provides in-depth profiles of the thirty-eight remedies along with practical applications for common childhood complaints, including teething, weaning, tantrums, fear of school, nightmares, learning difficulties, and hyperactivity. The wide range of symptoms covered makes this book invaluable to parents, as well as teachers and other caregivers.
Since signifcant messages are often communicated most effectively through metaphor, each chapter incorporates a short story that demonstrates the positive aspects of each flower type. The stories can be read aloud to children at bedtime to enhance the effects of the flower remedies. Affirmations that accompany each remedy allow parents to use positive visualization to begin the healing process. A separate chapter contains creative visualizations designed especially for children. Combined with the energies of the flowers themselves, these meditations and stories will help children overcome distress and grow into healthy, well-adjusted adults.
In addition to her extensive study of the Bach flower system, Barbara Mazzarella has worked in nursery and elementary schools for more than twenty years. She lives in Milan, Italy.
