Children commonly begin
having nightmares around three years of age. This natural part of
development reflects their growing creative imagination. When a child's
day thoughts spill over to their nights it can produce bad dreams.
Pediatricians agree that it is important during this time that children
feel a sense of independence in their ability to cope with this
development.
After
reading the story together, the SleepStone should be put in the pouch
and placed under your child's pillow. Throughout the night, the
SleepStone can give your child a sense of peace, security and a
positive image of a goodnight's sleep.

"Long
ago when animals still could talk, Bayla the otter swam amidst
sparkling waters and glistening river stones. Every night before he and
his otter babies went to sleep, Bayla would place the prettiest river
stones around his children, for he knew that rocks that had survived
the tides and torrents would protect his babies from all evils...."
