Deeno's Dream Journeys – 
How the book can benefit your child

 

How to use the book

Deeno's Dream Journeys in the Big Blue Bubble is adapted for children aged 5/6 – 12 to use with their parents, a therapist or other professionals who work with children on a one-to-one or small group basis. Learning the technique takes seven to eight weeks. The book gives a structured relaxation programme with stimulating, easy-to-learn exercises. 

Every week, they are learning a new set of 'magic words', which they add on to the previous one. There are creative stories that go with each set of 'magic words' and children can read them on their own, or have them read to by an adult – at home or at school. They follow the main character, Deeno, to a number of imaginary places. On these journeys, they learn to de-stress, manage their anger and improve concentration. Visualisation and affirmation exercises build self-esteem and self-awareness.

How the relaxation technique can help your child

• Going on a mental holiday, wherever they are 
• Feeling energised and getting their homework done in no time 
• Calming down before a test or going to the doctor 
• Falling asleep more quickly and feeling more rested on waking 
• Staying happy and healthy 
• No longer being afraid of the dark or being alone 
• Not getting a headache anymore 
• Healing allergies or skin problems 
• Liking and loving themselves more 
• Being courageous and feeling strong 

I am convinced that relaxation practice should be part of a child's everyday life. This won't just help the children, but also teachers, parents, and families. Of course, the adults have to cope with stress well themselves, so they can be good role models. It helps families cope better together with the challenges they face.

Deeno's Dream Journeys in the Big Blue Bubble offers children early access to a healthy lifestyle and well-being in this fast-changing, modern world. It will equip them with a powerful tool, an early implemented stress-beating habit, preparing them for future self-management.
