Best Books To Help Children Unwind

I first heard of Lori Lite on the show, Shark Tank. This TV show sets entrepreneurs before a panel from which they hope to find a partner. The entrepreneur presents her invention and what she needs, which is usually a dollar amount in exchange for a percentage of equity.

Barbara Corcoran, from Shark Tank, helped Lori get a contract with Borders stores.

Lori had developed a set of books for children that incorporates stress management techniques that are "used by both traditional and holistic communities." From the moment I heard about Lori's work, I knew it was going to be a winner.

On Shark Tank, Lori accepted panel member, Barbara Corcoran's counter-offer, and recently celebrated her products' arrival at Borders.

My little introduction story up top can be seen as just talking about the stress on the parents. On the surface, maybe, but behind it all is the very real potential danger to our children's health if they don't learn how to handle stress.

You know stress. I know stress. But, our children are far from immune to it. In fact, they live with it every day. Trying to keep up with technology, their grades. Making the right friends, overhearing and worrying about mom and dad's money woes, fearing mom and dad might divorce. Stalkers and bullies online, at school. ... Many, many other issues particular to the child and his or her life situation.

So, you can see why I'm excited to tell you about Lori Lite and her Stress Free Kids (tm) success.

Here are three fun books to help your children enjoy reading this summer, and in the process, acquire the stress-management and coping skills that will last a lifetime.
