| 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...." |
