Description

The storytelling with the soothing voice of a loved one is a true delight for the child. Thanks to the stories, they allow their imagination to wander, enrich their vocabulary, and improve their expression skills. Fairy tales and stories convey profound symbolic messages and can soothe the child’s worries and anxieties, helping them process, exorcise, and overcome them. This is the purpose of the "therapeutic" stories in this book: stories that aim to cultivate children's ability to recognize their emotions and fears, provide them with tools to confront them, and empower them to increase their self-esteem, initiative, and self-confidence.

Through identification with the characters, the child faces the situations that frighten them and achieves the much-needed state of calm and balance. At the end of each story, there are some important questions that allow adults to engage in a revealing dialogue with the children and communicate more meaningfully with them. An original proposal and a useful tool for parents who want to help their children confront their fears, strengthen their self-esteem, and gain confidence in their abilities.

This book is for you if...

  • Your child expresses fears (darkness, loneliness, changes, monsters, school)
  • You want to help them without just saying "it's nothing"
  • You are looking for a safe, gentle, and scientifically-based approach
  • You want a tool that combines storytelling, activities, and emotional support

What will this book offer you?

A valuable tool to help your child recognize, express, and gradually overcome their fears, while strengthening their self-confidence, sense of security, and emotional resilience. This is not a theoretical manual – but rather children’s stories with substance and practical value.

Inside the book you will find:

  • 12 short, everyday stories featuring children who face fears
  • Guided exercises and games after each story
  • Suggestions for discussions and questions you can ask your child
  • Instructions on how to read together with your child so they feel safe
  • Emphasis on “you are not alone” – every fear is normal and can be overcome

The opinion of the experts

"An cleverly structured book that does not 'preach' but embraces fear with understanding and humor."
– Child Psychologist A. Ka.
"Ideal for parents and therapists who want a tool for gentle, gradual management of phobias."
– Center for Emotional Development

Read an excerpt

"Little Manos was afraid of school. Not the building, but the unknown. He didn't know if he would make friends. But his mother told him: 'Tell me your fear, and I will hold it for you for a while.'"
"Fears don't go away when you chase them away. They go away when you listen to them."
