The I Am a Lovable ME! Book Series
Reviewed by Erin Kelly-Allshouse

Telling children they are loved, lovable and special — and reinforcing this message every day from the time they are born (or even before they are born) — instills a core of confidence which will stay with them as they grow. To help even the youngest child develop and practice the core building blocks of constructive internal dialogue, Sharon Penchina, C.Ht. and Dr. Stuart Hoffman introduce the I AM a Lovable ME! Series. The first book, I AM a Lovable ME! Affirmations for Children, promotes self-talk from page-to-page with almost 100 affirmations throughout. The easy-to-read verses, brimming with vibrant imagery, will help children discover the goodness inside themselves so they can realize their fullest potential.

Part two of the I Am a Lovable Me!” Self-EMPOWERMENT series for children and adults encourages learning the proper method of deep breathing. The easy-to-read verses bring awareness that controlling your breath can help to manage emotions and give you more energy too. I Take a DEEEP Breath teaches breathing awareness to toddlers through elementary school age children. Hats off to the authors for bringing a critical health solution to families early!
