Positive Books For Children

The choice of books for children is an important and fundamental one. It is important that the books our children are reading are promoting positive thoughts and offering optimistic guidance. There are far too many implicating factors of negativity for children in the world, for this reason there must be influential books available to act as a counteraction. A child facing a problem may dramatize or exaggerate an event for genuine fear of not being able to see a solution. A child with this negative attitude will never achieve resolutions without a positive view point. It is important that a child can understand that any problem is temporary and can be resolved if you just try. With these positive qualities a child can be happy and motivated to live life with confidence and enjoyment.

How your mind works determines whether you live a happy and positive life or not. You cannot be taught how to make your mind work and for this reason we need a child to understand positive affirmations and mantras at their own pace and of their own learning. This can be imposed by people around them, but a more productive and assured way is through their own learning. The most influential way to learn is through a child’s own discovery. This embeds in their make-up and holds solid continuity within their views and beliefs as they grow. This is not to say that these won’t change, because as humans of course we change and develop as factors surrounding us change. But why not start the foundations as solidly and positively as possible, putting a child in good stead for the rest of their lives.

When a child sits down with a book, they are in a comfortable environment, in an imaginative place away from the negative aspects of life. This is the most perfect time to inspire upbeat outlooks and encourage the use of optimism. There are so many influential books available for children, many with great sentiments. Motivational themes are varied and diverse. They include healthy eating, happy minds, respecting others, respecting yourself, seeing possibilities, fulfilling potential, developing self worth, setting goals, being optimistic and most importantly enjoying life, just to name a few. The ‘half empty, half full’ scenario is needed to be understood by a child to empower them to live their lives to the full. This will result in a world of children growing up with pro-active attitudes. It would be fantastic if we could inspire children through books to be motivated individuals with optimism that will enable them to be successful adults.

Through my on-going exploration of motivating children through literature I came across a lady called Angela Buck, who is the influential author of The Magic Sunglasses. This book is highly beneficial in encouraging positive attitudes within today’s children. Angela first had the idea for "The Magic Sunglasses" project several years ago when she realized that children's image reinforcement and self-esteem development were important and often overlooked areas. Determined to find a way to help young people recognize and value their own inner abilities, she developed "The Magic Sunglasses" concept. The main aim is to help young people "empower" themselves in a natural and light-hearted way - and learn how they can use this to live happy satisfying lives. She dreams of a worldwide community of children who have learnt how to value themselves and to use their potential, to live personally successful lives.

The themes within the book are great for reader’s confidence building. It creatively shows that great things can happen and that things are only impossible if you don’t try. It shows the power within yourself needs to be released and when you find your inner strengths the world becomes a happier, more enjoyable and pleasurable place of opportunity. This book shows children that if they use their imaginations their dreams can come true, if they just believe in themselves. The Magic Sunglasses reminds children that no matter what happens, there is always help available, that they themselves have the power to change things and the ability to overcome any problem they face with a little optimism and determination.

Having many grandchildren herself, Angela has recognized the many issues that affect children, and throughout the book reinforces the positive direction of thought to deal with each situation. Angela understands the necessity for positive affirmations to be installed into children at an early age and has therefore worked very hard on her project to help as many children possible across the world to live pleasing and positive lives. She would ideally like to help every single child. By means of an interactive website, her ethos is expanding, we just need as many children as we can to be introduced to Samantha the lead character in the book, and follow her on her positive life journey. Her objective ultimately is the encouragement to every child who may be struggling with self image problems, low self esteem and a lack of confidence. She hopes the children become empowered to gain hope and inspiration from the book and have the confidence in their optimism to enable them to face all of life's challenges.

Children need to be supplied with as many positive and influential affirmations as possible to encourage them to be happy and live bright and meaningful lives, with endless opportunities. They can only be enticed to do so with our help.
