Aromatherapy is an enjoyable and beneficial alternative therapy for our young ones. But aromatherapy heals more than just common childhood ailments. It also has a great impact onrepparttar 115877 emotional and mental issues children face on a daily basis.

Children have their own ways of dealing with stress and internal conflict. Some internalize their emotions and attempt to hide their thoughts and feelings. Others may become overly expressive or abnormally active. Many children simply don't know how to process their complex feelings.

Stresses in a child's family, school and social settings can contribute to any number of emotional issues, including guilt, loneliness, hyperactivity and neediness. Whatever situation your children may be facing, it is most important to emphasize communication, or share your concerns with a child therapist.

Book Review: "Someone I Love Died By Suicide" written by Doreen T. Cammarata, MS

"Someone I Love Died by Suicide: A story for child survivors and those who care for them".

This book is one of only a few books available today that is specifically designed to be read to children survivors.

Book Review By Joan Bramsch My dear Doreen,

I've completed your book. Outstanding! You're fulfilling such a need among children who lose someone they love by suicide. You provide so much help for youngsters and teens. Actually, you have also helped me.

When I read your suggestion about making a memory box I knew exactly what I would do: I happen to collect handmade wooden boxes that once held stationery, candy, cigars, or was simply a treasure box. Now I am going to choose among my favorites and make one a Memory Box for my beloved Bill. I thank you for this healing suggestion.
