We all have problems in life. It never ends. We start young, and most of us expend a truckload of brain power every day to figure out how to deal with them. The nasty big brother who deserves to go to boot camp (and stay there for life), stinky, trouble-making, good-for-nothin’ bullies at school, the quiz we forgot to prepare for, the teacher who exudes pleasure in giving you a D-, nagging parents from the dinosaur era, the boyfriend who doesn’t know he’s your boyfriend, that ever-squabbling relative – sound familiar?
Sammy Jo, the protagonist in the book, TEN SHEEP TO SLEEP, had a HUGE problem of her own. She counted ten sheep to sleep every night, but suddenly, ten extra sheep appeared. And did they make her night miserable! She focused on the problem and thought of some brilliant solutions. Unfortunately, none of them worked! She finally decided to relax.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
And that’s when the most brilliant solution of all came to her!
Sometimes we just need to relax, and let go. We need to find ways to loosen up and unwind – modalities that suit us and our personality. Some people focus on their breathing, some jog, some boogie to music, and some find joy in just acting silly.
What do you do to relax?
I hope you and your kids enjoy reading TEN SHEEP TO SLEEP as much as I enjoyed writing it. Oh! And Yes! There’s a little math lesson in the book for your lil’ ones. You’re welcome.
