How to Empower Your Child's Imagination with Joy and Success

Train Your Child's Powerful Imagination

If you'd like to empower your child with joy and success, go inside to his imagination. Our parenting expert and author, Dr. Charlotte Reznick, tells you how in step-by-step detail. It's easy and rewarding. Here's an excerpt from her book, The Power of Your Child's Imagination.

"Six-year-old Alec couldn't go to bed alone. Every night, his mom sat with him until the anxious boy fell asleep. Then she would tiptoes out, hoping not to wake him. If she left sooner, he would tremble and beg her to stay.

The places where a Self is born. Yet the same skills adults use to improve creative and professional performance can help your child discover increased health, confidence, and self-esteem.

Like Alec, your child has a big imagination. We're going to make it an ally, tapping his inner knowledge to help him heal himself and realize his dreams. Simply discovering that he has his own wisdom will be empowering. Developing the habit of listening to it and trusting it will profoundly shape how he meets life's challenges.
