Imagine a Rainbow A Child's Guide for Soothing Pain

ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Award Finalist
iParenting Media Award Winner

Imagine a Rainbow is a beautiful tool for introducing children to the idea of using their imaginations to cope with pain, whether by itself or as part of a more comprehensive pain management plan.

When a child is in pain, imagining scenes that are soothing or uplifting may help reduce the discomfort. The book also includes an extensive Note to Parents that explains the techniques of imagery and deep breathing, and how to help children use them.
