Increase Your Child's Confidence, Focus and Attention Span Six-year-old Sebastian was what some teachers might thoughtlessly call a troublemaker. His classroom disruptions became so intolerable, school officials suggested transferring him to a special facility for defiant children. It seemed no one could get through to the boy until his family discovered a highly effective way to literally transform his brain. Now, Bianca Tora in Dear Sebastian: Reclaiming the Power of Metaphor shares the remarkable techniques that helped Sebastian overcome his anger and lack of self control techniques that can help your child too. Presented in a series of letters destined for the adult Sebastian, Bianca Tora shows how Sebastian's family learned to use love, belief and intention to achieve stunning behavioral improvements that amaze his teachers. Drawing on recent discoveries in brain neuroplasticity, child behavior and the power of thought, Tora demonstrates that children, like adults, can be empowered with the tools of self-management and self-transformation. Central to the process is the recognition of the invisible within the visible, the formless within form and the creative and cohering power of metaphor. It is a journey that transforms Tora as well as Sebastian because her involvement with her grandson leads to the rediscovery of her own lost writing voice.
