About the Book
“Every day is full of opportunities to gain insight from one’s happy experiences and our own missteps, life’s losses, the often unkind words and actions of others, and the many differences that divide us. From this insight, we can create happier lives.” WBW
Charley’s New Friend is the story of a young boy who discovers that he can learn from his experiences, even those that are difficult. He gains this concept from a wise old snake named Arthur. As the friends embark on an exciting adventure, Arthur playfully describes his most colorful stripes, and Charley begins to understand that all our experiences contribute to our future self.
Parenting is about guiding children to become well-adjusted, confident, compassionate, happy, and resilient. Every parent’s hope is to help their children learn how to frame their perceptions, build strong values and develop the emotional strength to serve them into adulthood. Every day is full of opportunities to gain insight from one’s happy experiences and our own missteps, life’s losses, the often unkind words and actions of others, and the many differences that divide us.
In creating the story, the author drew from information gained during her many years as a mental health therapist, providing support to adults, children, and families, as well as from her experiences raising two children. For this reason, there is a Section for Parents and Other Readers being offered to elaborate on the suggestions in the story. As a parent, being a good role model turned out to be the most challenging task I’ve undertaken. It was only with “on-the-job training” and constant self-reflection that I managed to find my individual parenting insight. Along with the story your children will enjoy, I wanted to help others explore their own parenting journey.
