Children may not have the capability to articulate distress hence it is important to find creative and natural ways of helping them express negative emotions and ways of overcoming these. By learning these skills at an early age it may prevent the development of mental health issues in later life.The Chakraji series of childrens picture books uses imaginative storytelling to help children articulate and manage stressful situations. This is done by introducing natural breathing and mindfulness based practical techniques that a child will find easy to use and benefit from. The techniques are equally helpful for parents who are encouraged to demonstrate while reading through the book and having conversations after reading.The aim is that the child will learn to integrate this way of helping to alleviate stress making this a spontaneous response to difficult situations. This series of Chakraji books introduces a range of different mindfulness based breathing relaxation and positive affirmation techniques to enable children to build a repertoire of coping skills that can help manage stress throughout their life.
