Personalized printable stories and parent guides to help your child's fear of the dark or fear of monsters

Little Children Big Dreams offers two great stories for children who have a fear of the dark or who have a fear of monsters.

1. The Tale of the Brave Boy/Girl and the Dark Shadows

This 8 page story is perfect for young children up to the age of 10 who have a fear of the dark. While it has been thoughtfully developed by a Child Psychiatrist based on cognitive-behavioural, narrative and art therapy principles, you and your child will delight in the story’s simplicity and playfulness. Just by adding a few details about your child (including first name, gender, town/suburb) you can print this personalized story in which they’re the star. The accompanying parent guide will then explain how to encourage your child to illustrate each page for added therapeutic benefit and faster results. Such a simple yet effective tool to help children who are afraid of the dark to overcome their fear!

Priced at only $14.99 (AUD), or pay just $9.99 when both stories are purchased together, this story can be downloaded as a PDF file and printed immediately along with your parent guide and child's certificate, ready to use straight away. A copy of your documents will also be created by Dr Kaylene Henderson and emailed directly to you within 24 hours for safe-keeping.
