Star-keeper's Quest introduces the Worry Tree. Pause here to suggest some worries that your child may place on the worry tree. Try to include recent daily concerns, these can be big or small, ongoing fears and phobias, to small anxieties such as not being invited to friends party or bed wetting issues. Draw out worries that your child can subconsciously hook on the worry tree. In this relaxed state he or she does not need to verbalise his or her worries, use this time for suggestions only.

In Guardian Angel Stories, meditations are conceptually designed to induce a relaxed state whereby your child can imagine the story as it unfolds. Key elements to get the best out of the meditation are explained in detail in the beginning of the book on pages vii, viii, & ix. Do not be concerned if your child falls asleep before the end as it is designed to be used repetitively to cement the meditation process. If your child asks about the end of the story you can always read as a story at a later time.

In Guardian Angel Stories, interspersed throughout the text I have included “Parental Pauses”, these are hints for the parents/care givers how they can enrich and individualise the story for the child’s unique circumstance. All “parental pauses”, insights and themes have a strong psychological basis to offer solutions to the many of our modern day childhood problems.
