Nightlights cover

This book offers a collection of interactive meditation stories designed to calm children and enhance their creativity, making bedtime a special experience.

In Nightlights, children are invited to embark on a journey of self-discovery and creativity through engaging meditation stories. This collection of twenty interactive tales is designed to calm anxieties and foster a deeper bond between parent and child. Each story not only serves as a soothing bedtime ritual but also stimulates the imagination, making it an enjoyable experience for both parties.

Beyond mere relaxation, the stories in Nightlights encourage children to focus their minds and enhance their concentration and visualization skills. They provide valuable lessons about emotions and feelings, paving the way for children to understand their inner world. While these narratives are not traditional meditations, they lay the groundwork for future meditation practices, nurturing creativity and helping children navigate their emotions.

The Introduction by Civardi offers parents practical techniques to enhance their reading skills, create a calming atmosphere, and engage in meaningful discussions with their children about the stories. After each tale, a list of affirmations reinforces the messages conveyed, ensuring that both parent and child can reflect on the experience together. Overall, Nightlights is a unique blend of storytelling and mindfulness, making it an essential addition to any child's bedtime routine.
