How to Calm Your Lizard

'How to Calm Your Lizard' helps children recognise the survival instinct of the brain known as the reptilian brain. Rather than being taken over by the instinctive voice of fear, children are empowered to explore many fun and creative strategies to calm the downstairs part of the brain, and face daily challenges with courage.

"Did you know? Our very early ancestors were,

and I know you're going to be quite shocked here,

tiny little lizards. Yes!

Hard to explain, but I'll do my best..."

Teach your children to notice the inner voice of fear that stops them from being their true and brave selves. Help them to tune in to negative self-talk and the body's stress response. This book is full of proven techniques for managing anxiety and stress from Western psychology and Eastern wisdom.

Written by Suzanne Johnson with her experience as a mum and yoga teacher.

Co-written and illustrated by Popi Iatrou, Senior Psychologist, mum, dance and yoga teacher from wellnessarts.com.au
