In All in Your Head: Making Sense of Pediatric Pain Mara Buchbinder explores how clinicians, adolescent patients, and their families make sense of puzzling symptoms and work to alleviate pain. Through careful attention to the language of pain―including narratives, conversations, models, and metaphors―and detailed analysis of how young pain sufferers make meaning through interactions with others, her book reveals that however private pain may be, making sense of it is profoundly social.

  Now children can relax and learn research-based, stress management techniques with this CD in the Indigo Dreams Series, by Lori Lite. 

Indigo Dreams entertains your 5 to 8 year old  child with 4 stories and music while introducing breathing, affirmations, visualizations, and progressive muscular relaxation.
